For a deeper flavor, toast the cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, and cloves lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the water. Adjust the sweetness of the glogg to your preference by adding more or less sugar. Start with the recommended amount and taste after steeping. Feel free to experiment with other spices such as star anise or ginger for a unique twist. Glogg can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. For an alcohol-free version, substitute the wines and brandy with grape juice and a splash of balsamic vinegar for depth.
