Glögg
Glögg is Swedish mulled wine and it is a Christmas time staple. Spiced, warm and lightly alcoholic it is the best thing to drink on cold winter nights.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of red wine
- 250 g Madeira
- 250 g aquavit
- 4 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ orange peel
- 250 g sugar
- Raisins and blanched almonds
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the red wine, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick, and orange peel.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the Madeira and aquavit to the pot and allow the mixture to come up to a warm temperature.
- The longer the mixture simmers or boils, the lower the alcohol content will be.
