| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a 6- to 8-quart enameled or stainless-steel pot, mix together the dry red wine, muscatel, sweet vermouth, bitters, raisins, orange peel and the slightly crushed cardamoms, whole cloves, ginger and cinnamon.
|
2. Cover and let the mixture stand at least 12 hours so that the flavors will develop and mingle. Shortly before serving, add the aquavit and the sugar.
|
3. Stir well and bring it to a full boil over high heat. Remove at once from the heat, stir in the almonds and serve the hot "Glogg" in mugs.
|
4. In Sweden, a small spoon is placed in each mug to scoop up the almonds and raisins.
|
|
ALTERNATE:
|
1. To make a simpler "Glogg", divide the quantities of spices in half and mix them with 2 bottles of dry red wine.
|
2. Leave it overnight, then stir in ¾ cup of sugar and bring almost to a boil.
|
3. Remove from the heat, stir in 1 cup of whole, blanched and peeled almonds, and serve hot.
