Crafted with an exquisite blend of vanilla, spices, and citrus, and enriched with port wine and dark rum, it's an unparalleled delight that transforms the chill of the season into a cozy retreat.

Perfect for sharing with friends and family around a crackling fire or after a day in the snow, this Glögg is the essence of winter comfort in a glass. Ingredients: - 1 vanilla pod (seeds removed) - 200g white sugar - 200g brown sugar (preferably muscovado) - ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg - 20 whole cloves - 4 cinnamon sticks - 10 cardamom pods (seeds removed) - 10 whole peppercorns - 1 tbsp ground allspice - 5 star anise - 1 licorice root (more if desired) - 25g fresh ginger (julienned) - 3dl fresh apple juice or cider - 1 lemon (thinly sliced, peel on) - 2 oranges (thinly sliced, peel on) - 1dl snaps or vodka (optional) - 6dl port wine - 1.5dl dark rum Instructions: Step 1: Prepare the Extract 1. In a large pot, combine the vanilla seeds, pod, sugars, spices, licorice root, ginger, and apple juice. Stir to mix. 2. Heat slowly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Remove from heat and stir in the snaps, rum, and port wine. Step 2: Store and Cure 1. Pour the mixture—spices and all—into sterilized jars or bottles. Add the citrus slices evenly. 2. Seal the containers and store in a cool room for 1–3 weeks, agitating occasionally. 3. Taste as it cures. If the flavors become too bitter or strong, adjust by removing the citrus rind or some of the star anise. Step 3: Strain and Bottle 1. After curing, strain the mixture through a fine mesh or cloth for a clearer extract. 2. Transfer to clean glass bottles for storage. Serving Glögg: To serve, warm 2dl of red wine per glass in a pot. Once it reaches a simmer, remove from heat and stir in ½dl of Glögg extract. Serve immediately in mugs or goblets, garnished with sliced almonds and rum-soaked raisins for a traditional touch.
