desired
Proceed as follows:
1. Crush the cardamom and cinnamon, put all spices in
a covered glass jar, add the vodka. Let stand for 24
hours.
2. Sieve the vodka, discard the spices.
3. Put the almonds in boiling water for 10 seconds,
rinse them with cold water and peel them.
4. Mix the red wine and the spicy vodka in a pan, add
