Time for Glöggi

It is not as cold as it could be around this time of the year. Still it's definitely cold enough to start the glöggi season. You can get them in white and red at Alko and the alcohol free version at any supermarket. No matter which one you prefer don't forget to put some raisins and almonds in.

Have you had some already this year?

Saisiko olla glögiä?

It’s just a few weeks till Christmas and winter is close at hand. And nothing warms you up better after a walk through the cold than a nice cup of glöggi. Glögi is the Finnish version of muled wine. You can get an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic version.

No matter which one you prefer there are two ingredients essential for this spiced hot beverage:  raisins and almonds.

You can get glögi all winter long. Have a cup at the bar or get some at the supermarket and warm it up yourself at home. Finns like to occasional drink it with a lacing of vodka.
