Glögg is a Nordic mulled wine that is optionally spiked with stronger alcohol. A friend of mine's grandparents basically do a glögg bar crawl to Swedish bars in Chicago each Christmas season. I partook once. Good times! Now when I am feeling festive for the holidays, I make glögg at home and share it with others.
750 ml bottle of red wine
250 ml inexpensive brandy
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. dried currants
1/4 c. blanched almonds
10 cardamom pods
5 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 orange zested
1 T. minced ginger
Combine red wine, brandy, sugar, currants, and almonds in a pot. Place spices in a jelly or tea bag and submerge in the pot. Heat on medium low for 45 minutes. Remove spice bag and serve.
YAY. Wine mulling will now commence. (Ok, probably this weekend it will commence.)
