How to cook deliciously - Glögg

1. Stage

In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, toast cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add red wine, brown sugar, Marsala, rum, orange peel, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium to maintain a subtle yet steady simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep at least 1 hour or up to 4.

2. Stage

Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, then return to pot. Add 1/4 cup raisins and 2 tablespoons almonds and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until raisins are plumped, about 5 minutes.

3. Stage

Divide glögg among mugs. Top with remaining 1/4 cup raisins and 2 tablespoons almonds and orange zest.
