This is a traditional Swedish mulled wine. The recipe is from my husband's grandfather's family who came to the states from Sweden in the 1900's. It is YUMMY! Very warming on cold nights- but be careful, it goes down so easily that it's easy to drink too much and the hangovers are awful! Enjoy! Ingredients:
3 liters red wine |
1 cup raisins |
1 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon whole cloves |
1 tablespoon cardamom pod, cracked |
2 cinnamon sticks |
1/2 cup blanched almond |
Directions:
1. In a non-reactive pot combine raisins, sugar, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and almonds.
2. Cover with water and simmer for 2 hours.
3. Turn off burner and add wine.
4. Let sit for 1-2 hours.
5. Remove raisins and spices, either by straining or with a slotted spoon. Save the raisins to snack on! Just make sure the kids don't get them-they are STRONG!
6. To serve, heat in individual mugs in the microwave, adding a shot of vodka if you are really daring!
