Swedish Red Wine Punch

Thoroughly wash the orange(s), dry them and cut into slices.

Peel the ginger and cut it into small cubes.

Quickly rinse the raisins and let them drain well.

Place the red wine, orange juice, sugar, orange slices, ginger, raisins and the cloves, cinnamon stick and cardamom into a pot.

Slowly heat everything until the punch is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pot from the heat and let the punch steep for about 10 minutes.

Stir in the rum.

Add the almonds, gently warm the punch again if necessary, and pour into heatproof glasses.

Garnish with cinnamon sticks and serve immediately.
