This is something I’ve made for years and years. Be careful drinking it! It will hit you like a sledgehammer. A delicious, Swedish, Yuletide sledgehammer.
Glogg
Heat one bottle dry red wine with one sliced orange, 3/4 cups raisins, 1/2 cup blanched almonds, 6 cardamom pods, 5 cloves, and a cinnamon stick. (spices should be tied in cheesecloth to be removed before drinking)
In another saucepan, combine a bottle of brandy and a pound of sugar. Heat a little, then flame the brandy to melt the sugar. (This is where I invariably set something- a spoon, kitchen towel, the counter- on fire).
When the sugar has completely dissolved and the flame is extinguished, mix the mixture with the wine.
Spoon into mugs with an orange slice, a few raisins, and almonds in each glass.
I love Glögg very much 🙂 Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🙂 There is lots of ways to do it and the one with brandy is a new one for me. I prefer to make it on Blackcurrents.
Ohhh.. I bet black currants WOULD be good! Do you use vodka and port wine? I see that recipe a lot too. 🙂
Yes its the best way to serve it I think. I love that combination. Actually I do it with out any alcohol, just plain blackcurrant lemonad, just with less water. 🙂
That sounds fabulous! I’ll have to try it.
I love your blog as well. We’re vegetarian, so I may try some of your recipes, but using meat substitutes.
Thank you for the comment! 🙂
