  1. In a large pot, combine the red wine, cloves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, orange slices, lemon slices, sugar, raisins, and slivered almonds.
  2. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  4. Serve the Jólaglögg warm in mugs or glasses, garnished with a cinnamon stick or orange slice if desired.
