To "GROK" A martian word meaning literally "to drink" and metaphorically "to be one with"
from the Robert Heinlein novel, "Stranger in a Strange Land"....anyway that is what I always think of when I see the word...GLOGG...which is  a traditional Scandinavian drink for holiday cheer. In a way that is what we are doing when we get together in this season, we become one. So I say let us GROK this holiday season and start it off with some GLOGG!
GLOGG
2 bottle of dry red wine
2 bottle of port
2 cups aquavit
(or gin)
2 cups seedless raisins
2 cups blanched almonds
the slivered peel of an orange
2 tbs cardamom crushed with a mortar and pestle
10 whole cloves
2 sticks of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups of sugar
In a 6 quart enamel pot mix all ingredients, cover and let stand for 8 hours to let the flavor develop and mingle. When ready to serve, stir well and bring the mixture to a full boil over high heat. Serve immediately right from the pot, in mugs. Serve with a small spoon to scoop up the raisins and almonds. Keep warm for seconds.
