This is a traditional drink from Sweden. My mother bottled this every winter season to drink after dinner on cold nights. It's a bit strong, but that's the way I like it. There's so many variations but this, I think, is the best. Read more It's customarily served in miniature glass mugs so you can see the treasures inside, or in little plastic cups from a kiosk on the street. Small tea cups or larger sake glasses will work well. Vodka can be substituted for the brandy. See less
Ingredients
- 2 bottles sweeter red wine (any cheap kind will do, I like a shiraz or merlot) shopping list

- 2 cups brandy shopping list
- blanched almond slivers shopping list
- raisins shopping list

How to make it
- In a sauce pan, drop in the lemon, orange peel and spices. Pour a small amount of wine to cover. Simmer for 15 or so minutes.
- Add rest of wine, black currant syrup (or juice and sugar) and brandy
- Bottle drink for later use
- To serve, sprinkle small amount of almonds and raisins into mugs. Warm glögg in a saucepan until just before boiling (if you boil it, you will lose the alcohol, but you can always add more brandy.) Pour glögg into mugs and serve with a spoon to fish out the almonds and raisins.
