Merry Christmas!

Thank you all so much for following my Christmas Calendar of 2012. I hope you have found it fun and inspiring and that you’ve tried Glögg, Swedish Meatballs and played a lot of great Christmas music all through December. So this is the last window and Christmas day, so it’s time for one last gift from me to you. Today, only, you can download my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem for free, nada, ziltch. I hope it will spin well into 2013! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sofia Talviks Julkalender del 19 “Helgernas godaste glöggdrink!”

Nu när du har en hel sats glögg hemma efter att ha lärt dig att göra glögg i gårdagens lucka med Plura, så ska jag visa dig hur man gör den godaste glöggdrinken. Helt perfekt när man lessnat på att dricka varm glögg med mandel och russin och vill ha nåt fräschare. Receptet har jag fått från min kompis Malin på “Allt om Mat” som vet hur man gör de godaste drinkarna!

Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar: #18

There’s so much to say about Plura that I don’t even know where to begin. He’s the singer in Eldkvarn, a really big Swedish band, he’s just released his own cook book, he’s writing food reviews for the newspaper City and he’s soon to have his own cooking show in TV. So why not practice on Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar, after all he doesn’t have any Christmas recipes in his book. Learn how Plura makes his own Glühwein, or Glögg as we call it in Swedish.

Plura’s Glögg recipe:

0,75 l red wine
2 pcs cinnamon sticks
8 cloves
1 pieces of seville orange peel
3 table spoons sugar muskovado (or more if you want it sweeter)
1.5 dl cognac

Let it marinate over night for best result! Heat and add almonds and 
raisins

Here’s a variety of other Glühwein recipes:

Sofia Talviks Julkalender: del 18 “Utan alkohol blir det inget kul i jul”

Jag hälsar på Plura, sångar i Eldkvarm, kokboksförfattare, krogrecensent och snart med eget matprogram i TV och kollar hur han kryddar sin egen glögg. Snart får vi se Plura i stora rutan, men först i Sofia Talviks Julkalender!

 

Pluras egen glögg:

0,75 l rött vin
2 st  kanelstänger
8 st  kryddnejlikor
1 st  pomerans skal
3 msk muskovadosocker (eller mer om man vill ha en sötare glögg)
1,5 dl konjak
        sötmandel
        russin

Låt vinet och kryddorna dra över natten för bästa resultat. Servera med pepparkarkor och grönmögelost.
