Ingredients

  • 4 cups cranberry-apple juice
  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 whole cinnamon stick
  • 3 whole cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 slice orange, thin unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup whole blanched almond

Method

  • In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine juice, wine, sugar, water, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves (at this point, you can cover and refrigerate it until you need it).
  • Warm glogg in a pan over medium heat just until heated through- don't boil or the alcohol will boil off and then it's no fun.
  • Float orange slice on top.
  • To serve, keep warm over a candle or on an electric warming tray.
  • Ladle into cups, adding raisins and almonds to individual servings.
  • To make non-alcoholic, omit sugar and water and use 2 cups more cranberry-apple juice.
