Ingredients
- 1 bottle dry white wine
- 1 cup water
- 10 cardamom pods crushed
- 10 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks plus extra for serving if desired
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- 1 cup elderflower liqueur
Instructions
- Combine the wine, water, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and sugar together in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a simmer. Remove from the heat, cover and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
- Strain the mixture into a clean saucepan with the elderflower liqueur. Heat until just simmering.
- Serve warm in heatproof glasses or mugs with a cinnamon stick for garnish.
Notes
- If you want to stick with Swedish tradition, serve with golden raisins and blanched slivered almonds. These "garnishes" will inevitably sink to the bottom of each cup of glögg. Invite your guests to use a spoon to eat up the delicious almonds and raisins at the bottom of the glass once they have finished their beverage.
- If you want to hold the glögg at a warm temperature without risking it coming to a boil, pour it into a crockpot set to the warm setting once you've heated it on the stove.
- To make ahead: Let the wine and spices sit at room temperature for at least a couple of hours. Store in the refrigerator overnight or up to 2 days before proceeding with the recipe.
