Christmas Traditions: Gløgg

I love gløgg, and it's very christmas-y, while it's nice to drink with friends and family. Here in Norway, gløgg can be used as a welcome-drink, party-drink, or you can sit down with a big cup of gløgg and your favourite book while the snow is falling outside.

Now, before I go on to the recepie, be aware that this is quite a spicey drink!

And also, this is a drink with alcohol in it, wine is the main ingredient. You can chose if you'd like red wine or white wine, but red wine is more common, at least where I live!

You can see the ingredients below, so lets get to the procedure!

1. Put honey, cinnamon sticks, cardamom, cloves, orange peel, dried blueberries and a little bit of nutmeg and pepper in a boiler with the 2 desiliters of water and let it boil for about 10 minutes. Cover it up and let it cool over night.
2. Strain from the spice and you'll be left with a very spicy water.
3. Warm it in a boiler with the wine, the aquavit/vodka and the madeira. 
4. Serv with raisins and freshly chopped almonds.

I like to eat gingerbread with it!
