INGREDIENTS
- 1 bottle dry red wine (Merlot for example)
- 1/2 liter brandy or vodka
- 10 cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick (broken down)
- 1/2 orange peel (dried or fresh)
- 1/2 lbs sugar (regular or lumps)
- Optional additions: 5 cloves, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup almonds, 5 dried figs
METHOD
- Heat the wine, brandy, spices, fruit, and nuts in a pot (and any optional additions you might like).
- Be careful not to boil the mixture; just let it simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Strain through a cloth to remove all additions.
- Serve your Glogg hot over lumped sugar (or with regular granulated sugar).
- Optional: You can also serve the Glogg with raisons or almonds. If you'd like the drink to be stronger, use more brandy.
- This Glögg recipe makes approx 1.5 Liters (close to 1/2 gallon).
