Traditional Swedish Glgg Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Sweet, warm, and spicy, glgg (pronounced "Glue-gh") is sweden's seasonal gift to chilly souls around the globe. Often enjoyed as a christmas holiday drink, glgg means "Glowing ember" And this mulled wine carries the classic connotations and merry musings of its old norse origins. Promising good cheer in a steamy cup, this punch charms with high-octane aromas, super spice, and the warm glow of good wine. Perhaps you've seen glgg for sale at ikea, and wondered what it was about. Many european countries have their own tasty versions of mulled wine. The swedish take tends to turn things up a notch with a generous splash of bourbon or vodka and the added aromatics of cardamom pods. Keeping with many of the belly-warming spice themes found in germany's glhwein, swedish glgg traditionally strains out the spices prior to serving. It also includes raisins and blanched, slivered almonds to the final mug. This easy-to-make, even easier-to-drink, traditional glgg recipe by mattias borrman is not limited to yuletide happenings. It's also perfect for festive winter gatherings or as a quick warmer on snowy days.
