I'm from Sweden, and I can add that glögg is sweet so small glasses is fine, since you drink it warm and it's hard to drink a big glass of it fast... Many varieties of it nowadays, but the original taste is the best! And, you can have it without almonds and raisins...

2
cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
1
tsp. cardamom pods
1
small piece ginger, peeled
Zest of ½ orange
6
whole cloves
½
cup vodka
1
750-ml bottle dry red wine
1
cup ruby port or Madeira
1
cup granulated sugar
1
Tbsp. vanilla sugar
½
blanched whole almonds
½
cup dark raisins
Preparation
Step 1
Crush cinnamon and cardamom in a mortar and pestle (or put them on a cutting board and crush with the bottom of a heavy pot.) Transfer to a small glass jar and add ginger, orange zest, cloves, and vodka. Let sit 1 day.
Step 2
Strain vodka through a fine-mesh sieve into a large saucepan; discard spices. Add wine, port, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, almonds, and raisins and heat over medium just until bubbles start to form around the edges.
Step 3
Ladle glögg into mugs, with a few almonds and raisins in each one. Keep any remaining glögg warm over very low heat until ready to serve (do not let it boil).

We have excellent quality wine here in South Africa, but I would still love to taste some glögg.

Hiqq, probably have the Raisins and Almonds in there to give them some food in their stomach
