But otherwise I never follow a recipe - I mix red wine and spices: cinnamon sticks, some cloves but be careful with that - it gets strong easily, whole cardamom seeds, I tend to forget ginger but it's good to have that. Next time I want to try to add a few black pepper corns. Plain white sugar until sweet enough. Don't let it boil.... Remove the spices too before serving or it'll get too strong over time. Serve with dried raisins and blanched almonds. And don't skip blanching the almonds! It's so easy - throw them in boiling water for a minute or two, drain and pour some cold water over them to cool down - you'll feel the skin being loose enough to squeeze out the blanched almond. Rinse/repeat if it's not loose enough.... Today I cheated with Glögg bought at the Swedish booze monopoly (Systembolaget — which I do like, don’t get me wrong), and it is unsurprisingly tasty.

I had the tastiest cups of glögg/gløgg when I was living and traveling in Sweden and Denmark, but haven't perfected the recipe myself. How do you make your glögg?
