Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle white wine (half dry-semi sweet chardonnay)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 organic orange
  • 2 inches fresh ginger
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 2 pcs whole star anise
  • 1 vanilla bean

To serve with

  • ¼ cup blanched almonds
  • ¼ cup raisins or sultanas
  • 1 orange as decoration.

Instructions
 

  • Wash your orange, peel it thinly with a peeler and squeeze the juice in your pot.
  • Remove the skin from your ginger and slice it into smaller pieces. Slice your vanilla bean. Open the cardamom pods with your fingers.
  • Add in all the spices and the sugar in your pot and boil for 10 minutes, so the sugar melts. Lift from heat and add in your wine.
  • Let the glögg stand for at least two hours so that the flavors intensify. Then strain your drink. Use a fine cloth or paper filter to strain the vanilla seeds.
  • Warm your glögg before serving so it is steaming hot but not boiling. Add in some raisins and almonds and decorate with orange slices or orange peel.

Notes

Tip: You can serve this white glögg even as a cold drink. To make alcohol free version, use alcohol-free wine. 
Metric: ¼ cup is 0,6 dl. 2 inches is 5 cm.
