Gløgg

Gløgg is the classic Danish version of mulled wine containing ingredients such as red wine, sugar, spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and bitter orange and akvavit. To prepare Gløgg, spices are mixed into the wine, which is then heated to 60°-70° Celsius. The temperature should not be allowed to rise above 78.4° Celsius in order to avoid evaporation of the alcohol. When preparing glögg using spices the hot mixture is allowed to infuse for at least an hour and reheated before serving. Gløgg is a part of Christmas parties served with æbleskiver sprinkled with powdered sugar and accompanied with strawberry marmalade. Gløgg can also be made alcohol-free by replacing the wine with fruit or blackcurrant juice or by boiling the gløgg for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol. In Denmark non-alcoholic Gløgg can be bought ready-made. These days there are many variations containing white wine, Madeira, brandy or vodka. Gløgg is very comparable in taste to modern Wassail or mulled cider.

Here is the recipe I use to make traditional Gløgg.
