Ingredients
  • 2 bottles sweeter red wine (any cheap kind will do, I like a shiraz or merlot)
  • 1 3/4 cups black currant syrup (or 3 cups black currant juice plus sugar to taste)
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • peel of 1 orange
  • 5 cardamom pods, slightly crushed
  • 5 cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 cups brandy
  • blanched almond slivers
  • raisins
  • jar or large bottle to hold liquid

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. Add rest of wine, black currant syrup (or juice and sugar) and brandy
  3. Bottle drink for later use
  4. 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.
