Spice up your mulled wine game this Christmas with a version straight from the land of the fjords. Get this bubbling and fill the house with wonderful smells.

Serves: Depends on your glass size!

Time: 2 ¼ hrs

Ingredients:

1 bottle of red wine, 1 tsp cardamom, 5 whole cloves, 1 large sliced cinnamon stick, 2-inch piece of ginger- chopped, 340g white sugar, 375ml of aquavit (or substitute vodka or Cognac), 100g raisins, 100g sliced almonds.

Method:

Heat the red wine slowly in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Put the cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in a spice bag and add to the pot.
Stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
Remove the pan from heat and let cool, approximately two hours.
Just before you’re ready to serve, add the aquavit to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Heat until just before the mixture reaches a boil.
Add raisins and almonds. Transfer mixture to a punchbowl, remove the spice bag, and ladle into large glasses with little spoons for scooping up the raisins and almonds.
