How to Make My Family's Swedish Glogg
- In a large stainless steel soup pot, combine 4 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks, 1 tsp whole cloves, 1 tsp whole allspice berries, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1 orange (zested and juiced), 1 lemon (zested and juiced), 1 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/2 cup chopped dried figs, and 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 (750ml) bottle of ruby port wine (or other wine suitable for mulled wine) and 1/2 cup of dark rum (optional). Heat gently until almost boiling, then remove from heat.
- Carefully strain the Glögg through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, discarding the solids.
- Using tongs, place one cinnamon stick and a few almonds into each prepared wine bottle.
- Using a funnel, carefully pour the strained Glögg into the prepared wine bottles. Seal and store in a cool, dark place. Serve warm.
- (Optional) Garnish each serving with an orange slice and an almond.
