Step 1
Pour the wine into a saucepan and add the sugar and all the spices. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling (around 80º C- anything above and the alcohol will start to evaporate). Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for an hour or more.

Step 2
Strain the spices – and your glögg mulled wine is ready. Serve in small cups, warm, with a teaspoon of flaked almond and raisins added.

Step 3
A dash of cognac or rum can be added to the finished product for extra warmth.
