Nordic Glögg - Hot Mulled Wine

Created by ForeverMama on August 18, 2017

1 bottle (750 mL) red wine (quality doesn’t matter. Refer to NOTE # 2)
1 to 2 sticks cinnamon
5 grams ginger (dried root ginger)
5 grams orange peel (dried Seville orange peel, or other orange if you can't get Seville)
7 green cardamom pods
15 to 16 whole cloves

Step 1: Pour the wine into a pan, add the spices and heat to around 80C/176F, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Step 2: Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for at least an hour.
Step 3: Strain the mixture and return the mulled wine to the bottle - use a funnel to make life easier for yourself. The wine can be kept for around a week.
Step 4: To serve, pour the wine into a saucepan and heat it.
Step 5: Place a few flaked almonds and raisins in the bottom of your serving cups, and pour the glögg over the mixture.
Step 6: If you want to give your glögg a kick, add a splash of either vodka, aquavit, rum or cognac just after you’ve reheated the wine.
NOTE # 1: You can reduce or increase the sugar to your liking – and you can play around with adding and decreasing some spices to make your own signature mulled wine.
NOTE # 2: It is not necessary to use an expensive wine, but using a relatively cheap bottle is fine because no one will notice, as it is masked by the sweetness and spices.
