My Dad's recipe that he made EVERY year. A potent version of the traditional Swedish Christmas drink. Just breathing it in will clear the sinuses. Ingredients:
750 ml aquavit |
750 ml burgundy wine |
1 cup sugar (heaping) |
10 whole cardamom pods |
5 whole cloves |
3 peels oranges |
4 figs |
1 cup blanched almond |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Stir together Aquavit and Wine with sugar into a large pot. Wrap remaining ingredients in cheesecloth, place in pot with low heat for a couple of hours (or crockpot all day). Serve hot and discard cheesecloth wrapped ingredients.
2. Variation 1: For a milder version and more servings, you can double the wine.
3. Variation 2: Vodka can be used in the place of Aquavit (Aqvavit) but it will not be as flavorful.
