Hot Cranberry Glogg - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups cranberry-apple juice
2 cups dry red wine
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1 whole cinnamon stick
3 whole cardamom pods, lightly crushed
4 whole cloves
1 slice orange, thin unpeeled
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup whole blanched almond

Preparation

In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine juice, wine, sugar, water, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves (at this point, you can cover and refrigerate it until you need it).
Warm glogg in a pan over medium heat just until heated through- don't boil or the alcohol will boil off and then it's no fun.
Float orange slice on top.
To serve, keep warm over a candle or on an electric warming tray.
Ladle into cups, adding raisins and almonds to individual servings.
To make non-alcoholic, omit sugar and water and use 2 cups more cranberry-apple juice.
