Mulled wine the Swedish way (glögg)

The proportions are suggestions aimed to get the traditional, sweet and rich flavour: feel free to start with less and work out how much sweetness and spice you like. If you want a stronger glögg, add a glugg of brandy, vodka or Christmas snaps to the pan. If you want it sweeter, add more syrup, sugar or a handful of raisins.
