How to make Scandinavian Gløgg or mulled wine

hygge glogg mulled wine recipe

 

Firstly, how is Gløgg  pronounced? The easiest way to say it is glug, where the ø is made with a sound like the u in sugar. Most northern European countries have a recipe for mulled wine or gluhwein, particularly at Christmas markets; what sets our  traditional Danish Gløgg recipe  apart for me is the addition of the slivered almond and raisins that you can eat with a spoon when you get to the bottom of the glass. Best served with a plateful of warm aebleskiver and a dice game, in my opinion. Find beautiful handmade mulled wine cups here!

 

Ingredients

1x750ml bottle of wine. Lots of recipes will say use expensive wine, as this equals good gløgg , but to be honest you’re going to put so many other spices and flavours in there that I would save your best bottle for later on in the evening.

8 cardamom pods

1 cinammon stick

5 cloves

½ cup of raisins

½ cup of slivered almonds

The rind from 1 orange

¼ cup of brown sugar

1 cup of port

1 cup of brandy (if you really want to fall asleep with a warm feeling in your tummy)

 

Put the wine, spices, raisins, almonds, sugar and rind in a large saucepan and place on a low heat. You want to warm it slowly enough that the spices permeate the wine, but not heat it up so much the alcohol begins to evaporate; it makes a fabulous accompaniment to our Danish aebleskiver pancake balls recipe, a traditional snack served at Christmas markets.
