Glögg

Yields25 Servings

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.

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

Mix the 10 first ingredients 12 hours ahead of party.

Add the last three ingredients and bring to a boil.
