Gløgg
  • Serves 6-8
Author Notes

The secret to outstanding flavor in this Scandinavian holiday staple is in the addition of the Elderflower cordial and blackcurrant concentrate. It's worth the effort to find these two ingredients for a flavor that can't be matched. Happy holiday Amanda and Merrill. Cheers! —Foodie-isms

This is a three part recipe. Everything listed under the '3rd Step of Recipe' (in the ingredients) is for the final step in this recipe. You can view the recipe correctly from my website if you find this one confusing. http://foodie-isms.com/?p=3235
