How to Make Glogg

Posted by Chris on November 19, 2007

I just ran across this fantastic recipe for Danish Christmas Glogg from Danish Schnapps Recipes. Finding mulled wine and gluhwein recipes is easier for me and I have dozens and dozens of them now but finding a unique glogg recipe like this is a real gem. If you have been wondering how to make glogg then here you go. It is very similar to how to make gluhwein or mulled wine but, well, different.

Ingredients

• 1 bottle of red wine
• 1-2 deciliter blackberry schnapps
• Seeds from 6-8 green cardamom pods
• 10 whole cloves
• 1 small cinnamon stick
• 150-200 grams skinned, chopped almonds
• 150-200 grams dark, organic raisins
• Cane sugar

Direction

• In a glass container, combine red wine, blackberry schnapps, spices, and raisins.
• Close the container tightly and leave it for a couple of hours in a dark place at room temperature.
• Strain the blend and add the chopped almonds.
• In a stainless steel pot, heat the blend over low heat to just before boiling. Stir occasionally.
• Do NOT boil. Boiling will burn off the alcohol.
• Sweeten to taste with a little cane sugar.

Serve your Christmas glogg steaming hot in heatproof glasses or mugs with fruits, nuts, sweets, and Christmas cookies.

I will be posting more glogg, gluhwein, and mulled recipes on a daily basis throughout the Christmas season.

Enjoy!
