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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until fully dissolved.

Step 3

Place the cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and orange peel into the saucepan. These will infuse the liquid with warm, spiced flavors.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the raisins and blanched almonds to the saucepan, stirring gently to incorporate them into the mixture. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve the glogg warm in heatproof glasses or mugs. Optionally, add a few raisins and almonds into each serving for texture and visual appeal.
