Steps:
- Step 1: Soak 1/2 cup of raisins in one cup of aquavit (a Norwegian spirit made with potatoes); Brandy or vodka can be used instead. Soak for 30 minutes before Step 2. Step 2: Put a large pot on the stove, over high heat. Add one cup of water and 1/2 cup sugar to the pot, and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved. Step 3: Lower the heat to medium and add your spices - two sticks of cinnamon (each broken in half); four whole cloves; six whole cardamom seeds, crushed by hand; a thinly shaved orange peel; and one small piece of ginger, peeled and cut in half. Stir again with wooden spoon. Do not allow the mix to come to a boil from this point on. Step 4: Add the aquavit-raisin mixture, two cups of burgundy or pinot noir wine and two cups of port wine. Step 5: Sweeten and spice to taste. Step 6: Strain, garnish with raisins and slices of blanched almond - and serve hot off the stove. Note: The drink can be made a day ahead and kept covered, on the stove, at room temperature. Just reheat before serving.
