Glogg à la Norvegienne

Brrrrr, it's bloody cold outside, huh!
So welcome around, have a seat here or there, we need to warm up a bit, don't we? (nothing salacious here! tssss :P)



Today, why not trying a good hot Glogg?!
But not the killing Glogg (which includes vodka and wine together), nooooo a alcoholfree glogg.
(yeah I can't believe either I'm about to give a cocktail recipe without alcohol, it just feels like something's deeply missing :P)

Anyway, you just can't have 10 hot wines or traditionnal gloggs in the middle of afternoon, whereas you can have hundreds of mine whenever you want!
Yeeepeeeeee!

It's a recipe we've got from Martin's papa who's fond of Norway and its culture and traditions, he got the recipe from there.
So you need:

1 liter of grape (raisin) juice
1 liter of blackcurrant (cassis) juice
1 liter of apple (pomme) juice
5 cinnamon sticks (edit: 5 bâtons de cannelle)
15 cloves (clous de girofle)
1 fistfull of almonds (amandes effilées)
1 fistfull of dry grapes

You cook all that together gently for 1 hour (1 heure à feu doux)
You get rid of the cloves and cinnamon sticks
and you can serve it with the almonds and grapes.

Usually you don't need to add any sugar, but it depends on juice quality really.

It feels wonderful, smells wonderful and is purrrfect for wintertime
Prost!
