Glogg (Swedish: Glögg, Norwegian: Glřgg, Danish: Glřgg, Finnish: Glögi), also known as mulled wine, is the Scandinavian version of vin chaud .

33 cl Beer,66 cl Water,4 slices of Ginger, 1 small Orange Peel, 4 Cinnamon sticks,20 Cloves, 30 Cloves, 2-3 teaspoons of Cardamom kernels

When the time comes, filter away the above spices and heat up the base to around 80-90 C with:

2-3 bottles of cheap wine, 2-3 dl sugar

In a serving cup, add the following according to your own taste:

Glögg, Vodka,Raisins, Peeled and cut Almond

Use a spoon to scoop up the almonds and raising, Repeat the last step until there is no more Glögg.

In Denmark glřgg is traditionally served during the Christmas season with ćbleskiver (apple dumplings) sprinkled with powdered sugar and accompanied with strawberry marmalade.
