Authentic Swedish spiced wine. The recipe is from Great-Aunt Freda, brought from Sweden in the early 1900's. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
12 cardamom seeds |
2 cinnamon sticks |
12 whole cloves |
1/2 orange, zested |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup raisins |
1 cup blanched almonds |
4 cups muscatel wine, or orange muscat |
4 cups port wine (or burgundy) |
2 cups brandy |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and orange zest; stir in sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat, and allow to steep overnight.
2. Place the raisins and almonds into a large saucepan. Strain the sugar water into the raisins, then pour in Muscatel, port, and brandy. Place over medium-high heat, and cook until hot but not simmering. Serve warm in a mug with some fruit and almonds in each cup.
