Scandinavian glogg
The perfect drink to warm your soul, this traditional and festive tipple is spiced with cinnamon and cloves
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of red wine cheap and cheerful will do!
- 80g Caster sugar
- 1 large stick or 2 small sticks of cinnamon
- 5g Dried ginger
- 10 Cloves
- 5 Cardamom pods
- Piece of Seville orange peel can substitute with other type of orange, although it will not be as bitter
Method
Step 1
Pour the wine into a saucepan and add the sugar and all the spices. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling (around 80º C- anything above and the alcohol will start to evaporate). Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for an hour or more.
Step 2
Strain the spices - and your glögg mulled wine is ready. Serve in small cups, warm, with a teaspoon of flaked almond and raisins added.
Step 3
A dash of cognac or rum can be added to the finished product for extra warmth.
