HAPS-Flip: East German Red Wine, Beer and Milk Drink
The HAPS-Flip is a frothy mix of red wine, light beer, milk, sugar, egg and a pinch of pepper. The recipe comes from HAPS, a household tips show on East German television made at the Ostseestudio in Rostock, which ran from 1983 to 1990. You mix it in a tall beaker with a hand mixer.

Method
You'll needtall mixing beaker (at least 1.5 l), hand mixer with whisk attachments, measuring jug, 4 tall glasses
Chill
Put the beer, red wine and milk in the fridge for at least 2 hrs. Place the glasses in the freezer for 15 min. The colder everything is, the firmer the foam will hold.
Whip the egg
Put the egg and sugar in the tall mixing beaker. Beat with the hand mixer on the highest speed for 1–2 min until pale and fluffy and the sugar barely crunches.
Add milk and wine
Pour in the milk and stir it in on low speed for 10 sec. Then add the red wine in a thin stream and mix for another 20 sec until the color is an even pinkish brown.
Add the beer
Pour the beer slowly down the side of the beaker so it does not foam over. Sprinkle in the pepper. Mix on the highest speed for 15–20 sec until a thick, light brown head forms.
Serve
Divide the flip among the chilled glasses right away so each one gets some foam on top. Serve at once, while the foam still stands.
