Instructions

Winter's Embrace is a soul-warming, spiced beverage crafted to melt away the chill of a frosty evening. Infused with an aromatic blend of traditional Scandinavian spices and enriched with the deep flavors of port wine and dark rum, this drink promises a cozy winter indulgence. Serve it hot in a tall, heat-resistant glass to fully enjoy the symphony of flavors with every sip. Ingredients: - Seeds from 1 vanilla pod - 1 vanilla pod - 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 - 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: 1. In a large pot, combine the vanilla seeds, pod, sugars, and spices along with the licorice root, ginger, and apple juice. Stir to mix thoroughly. 2. Heat the mixture gently, allowing the sugar to dissolve and continue to a gentle boil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Remove the pot from the heat and mix in the snaps (if using), rum, and port wine. 4. Pour the spiced mixture into sterilized jars or bottles, distributing the citrus slices evenly among them. Seal the containers and let the flavors meld in a cool place for 1–3 weeks, giving it a shake now and then. 5. Once cured, strain the mixture through a fine mesh or cloth and transfer it into clean bottles. Serving Instructions: To serve Winter's Embrace, gently warm 2 dl of red wine per serving in a pot. Once simmering, remove from heat and blend in ½ dl of the Glögg extract. Pour into a tall, heat-resistant glass for serving. For an added touch, garnish with sliced almonds and rum-soaked raisins. Enjoy amidst a snow-laden backdrop, savoring the warmth and festive aroma.
