Instructions:
Glögi in Finland is a traditional Scandinavian drink made of red or white wine or fruit juice, heated up along with sugar and spices: cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, allspice, mace, nutmeg, etc; and served hot mixed. Scald the almonds and peel them. If you can't find dried Seville orange peel, substitute it with a couple of thin strips of the zest of a fresh regular orange. Pour the wine and the juices in a saucepan and heat the mixture up. Do not let it boil. Add some sugar and the spices, mix thoroughly until the sugar has melted and let steep on a low heat for 5 - 10 minutes without boiling. Strain the glögi and spike it up with a dash of vodka, if you like. Reheat the mixture, if necessary. Drop a few blanched almonds and raisins in serving mugs or tea-glasses with a spoon in them and pour the hot glögi over. Serve immediately with star-shaped Christmas pastries or gingerbread cookies.
