Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml red wine
- 250 ml port wine
- 250 ml vodka
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 sticks cinnamon sticks
- 8 pods cardamom pods
- 6 pieces whole cloves
- 1 piece orange peel
- 100 grams raisins
- 50 grams blanched almonds
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the red wine, port wine, and vodka. Set the heat to low to gently warm the mixture without boiling it.
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until fully dissolved.
Place the cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and orange peel into the saucepan. These will infuse the liquid with warm, spiced flavors.
Allow the mixture to gently simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes. Be careful not to let it come to a boil, or the alcohol content may evaporate.
Add the raisins and blanched almonds to the saucepan, stirring gently to incorporate them into the mixture. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Once the glogg has fully infused, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and orange peel. If you prefer, you can leave the raisins and almonds in the glogg as garnish.
Serve the glogg warm in heatproof glasses or mugs. Optionally, add a few raisins and almonds into each serving for texture and visual appeal.
