Instructions
- 1
Pour the red wine into a large non-reactive saucepan and add the sugar, crushed cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peel, then warm over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
- 2
Bring the mixture just to a bare simmer, watching closely so it never boils, since boiling will cook off the alcohol and flatten the flavor; small bubbles around the edge are the cue to lower the heat.
- 3
Hold at that gentle steam for 20 to 25 minutes to let the spices infuse, then stir in the port or aquavit and heat for 2 more minutes until warmed through.
- 4
Strain out the whole spices and orange peel through a fine-mesh sieve, then divide a few raisins and almonds into each heatproof glass or mug.
- 5
Ladle the hot glögg over the raisins and almonds and serve immediately with small spoons so guests can eat the plumped fruit and nuts at the end.
