Glogg

Glogg is the Scandinavian version of Mulled wine and is traditionally served over the Holidays. We also have a kids version (read; without alcohol) that is more sweet and for most kids theres's no Christmas without it.

This recipe is an adult version and can be served with only the wine or with wine and vodka, most men seems to like the last version better.

Ingredients;

2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick, smashed
1 tbs whole cloves
1 tbs dried orange zest
1 tbsp coarsley smashed cardamom pods
2 bottles of red wine
4 tbsp sugar
Vodka (as much as you prefer or can handle.....)
Raisins
Chopped almonds


Put the water in a saucepan with the cinnamon, cloves, orange zest and cardamom. Bring to a slow boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand another 15 minutes. Strain through a sieve making sure to get every last drop of liquid.

In a saucepan combine the spiced liquid, red wine, sugar and Vodka if you are adding that. Bring close to a boil but don't let it boil only make sure it's warm enough. If you prefer it sweeter add more sugar.

Serve with the raisins and chopped almonds giving everybody a spoon so that they can catch the raisins and almonds.

Skål!!!
