Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle red wine, 750 ml
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon green cardamom pods
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 orange
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, (2-3cm)

Instructions
 

  • Wash your orange (good to use organic) Peel it thinly. Slice the ginger. Crush your cardamom pods or open with your fingers.
  • Pour your wine in a pot together with the sugar and all the spices. Let the mixture simmer on low heat so the sugar melts.
  • Remove from heat and let the glögg stand for at least 2 hours so the flavors intensify.
  • Strain the drink. Reheat before serving and serve from small cups.

Notes

If you want a more fruity flavor, then add the orange juice as well. 
To make your glögg stronger in alcohol percents, add ½ cup of aquavit, brandy, cognac, rum, gin, vodka, or blended whisky (not smoky).  
To make alcohol-free glögg use alcohol-free wine.
