Glögg

Glögg is traditionally made with red wine, and is similar to recipes for mulled wine. Put a few almonds and raisins in the bottom of each glass to be savored when the drink is done.

• 8 whole white cardamom pods, crushed with 1/2 cup sugar
• 8 whole cloves
• 1 3-inch piece of cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon dried orange peel
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup blanched almonds
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup Brandy
• 1 bottle good-quality red wine - burgundy is a good choice

METHOD

Put cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and orange peel in a cheesecloth. Put with remaining ingredients into a nonreactive pot. Heat over medium flame, letting mixture simmer, but not boil. When sugar has melted, remove cheese cloth and discard.

Place a few raisins and almonds in each glass. May be saved overnight and reheated.
