Glögg

Category

Beware this is very strong!
This is a Swedish recipe for a sweet, warm and spicy mulled wine. The word "glögg" means glowing ember.
The quantities are enormous, to serve a crowd but the recipe can obviously be divided.
Must be prepared a day in advance.

Yields25 Servings
 2 l Dry red wine
 2 l Muscat wine
 ½ l Sweet vermouth
 2 tbsp Angostura bitters
 2 cups Raisins
 Orange zest
 12 Crushed cardamoms pods
 10 Whole cloves
 1 Piece of fresh ginger
 1 Cinnamon stick
 1 ¼ cups Aquavit (I suspect vodka could replace this)
 1 cup Sugar (Originally they used a big sugar cone that was placed in the middle of the punch bowl and let to dissolve slowly)
 2 cups Slivered blanched almonds
1

Mix the 10 first ingredients 12 hours ahead of party.

2

Add the last three ingredients and bring to a boil.
