Gl�gg

A) Does anyone know where to get the ingredients in Seoul?

B) Does anyone know a tasty, but easy recipe? I know I can google it, but looking for alternatives.

Danke!

I make mulled wine often.. Go to the foreign food mart or someplace like it and get some cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves.. chop a few oranges and add some sugar and simmer it all together.. delicious!

I tried to make it last year and couldn't find the stuff. I would check out the Hannam supermarket.

I'm Norwegian (we were Gulbrandsen back in the old country^^) and we used to make it at home every Xmas. Basically I would get two bottles of red, pour it in to a big pot. Then take some sugar and cook it up with a quarter cup of brandy in a sauce pan, and wait til it 'carmelizes', then add the sugar/booze syurp and another pint or so of brandy to the wine. Then throw in cloves, cardamom,almonds, raisins and orange peels after about 10 min. Simmer for a while (20 min?) then serve. I'm not clear on heating times, it was a couple of years ago. Garnish with a cinammon stick. Gramps would use vodka but I toned it down when making it solo.

I've heard that there's mulling spice at the Hannam market, and I once saw some in the basement of the Hyundai Dept. Store in Sinchon. Otherwise the "Foreign Food Mart" in Itaewon has most of what you're looking for, cloves and cardamom perhaps being the trickiest.
