This warm and spiced Swedish mulled wine, known as glogg, is perfect for festive gatherings, offering a cozy and aromatic experience.
Ingredients
1 bottle red wine
1 cup port wine
3 pieces cinnamon sticks
5 pieces whole cloves
1 strip orange peel
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup rum
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped almonds
Method
In a sizable saucepan, combine red wine, port, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and strips of orange peel. Gently heat on medium-low until it starts to simmer.
Stir in sugar, rum, and brandy, mixing until the sugar completely dissolves. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring it steams without boiling.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, blend together raisins and chopped almonds.
To serve, ladle the warm mulled wine into festive coffee cups or traditional Swedish mugs. Top each cup with a spoonful of the raisin and almond blend for a delightful crunch.
