Glögg (Danish Mulled Wine)

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 x750ml bottle of wine. Lots of recipes will say use expensive wine, as this equals good glogg, 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 raisins
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • The rind from 1 orange
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup port
  • 1 cup brandy if you really want to fall asleep with a warm feeling in your tummy

Instructions
 

  • 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. If it is a lunchtime affair, my mum will add a cup of orange juice and a cup of water, to make it slightly more fruity, and slighty less alcoholic. Skål!
