What the heck is glogg? And here's a recipe for it.

I typed in a weird combination of letters when playing a word game not really expecting it was a word. Yes, glogg is a word. It is a Swedish Christmas mulled wine served hot and sometimes on fire.

Glögg is hot, spiced wine, perfect for cold winter evenings. Just follow this easy Glogg recipe to make your own great-trasting spiced wine. Variations are optional and add great personalized taste to your own "Glögg"!

Prep Time: 0 hours, 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 hours, 45 minutes
Ingredients:

* 1 bottle of red wine
* 0.5 Liter inexpensive brandy or vodka
* 10 cardamom pods
* 1 cinnamon stick (broken down)
* 1/2 orange peel (dried or fresh)
* 1/2 lbs sugar (regular or lumps)
* Optional additions: 5 cloves, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup almonds, 5 dried figs

Preparation:
Heat the wine and brandy spices, fruit, and nuts in a pot (and any optional additions you might like.)

Be careful not to boil the mixture; just let it simmer for about 45 minutes.

Then, strain through a cloth to remove all additions.

Serve your Glogg hot over lumped sugar (or with regular granulated sugar).

Optional: You can also serve the Glogg with raisons or almonds. If you'd like the drink to be stronger, use more brandy.

This Glogg recipe makes approx 1.5 Liter (close to 1/2 gallon).
