Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients needed for this delightful Swedish Glogg recipe.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large pan, combine the orange juice, almonds, golden raisins, and prunes.
-
Create Spice Bundle: Take a piece of cheesecloth and tie up the cloves, cinnamon sticks, ginger slices, and cardamom pods. This will make it easier to remove the spices later.
-
Infuse Flavors: Place the spice bundle into the pan with the fruit mixture. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add Spirits: Once the mixture has simmered, discard the spice bundle and pour in the brandy. Let it heat through for a few minutes.
-
Ignite the Glogg: Carefully ignite the mixture with a match (please be cautious!). Stand back as you ignite it, allowing the flames to subside. Then, cover the pan with a lid to extinguish the flames.
-
Serve: Remove the match from the brew and serve the Swedish Glogg warm. Enjoy the cozy flavors of this festive drink with friends and family!
Tips:
- Make sure to use a large pan to accommodate all the ingredients and allow for easy stirring.
- Be cautious when igniting the mixture; ensure there are no flammable items nearby.
- Serve the Glogg in heatproof glasses or mugs to keep it warm for longer.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness or spice level according to your preference.
