Glögi, or hot wine, is an indispensable drink in Finnish winter. In Finland, joulutori (Christmas market) is a new culture and has started recently, but it is always sold in the Christmas market. According to Juhani, dipping gingerbread in this glögi is the best way to enjoy it. Indeed, gingerbread with a little alcohol in it has a mature taste. Please give it a try.
I mentioned that the Christmas market started recently, but grog itself has been around for a long time and is a traditional drink. Different families add different spices, but the most common are cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and ginger. There are many variations, including allspice, star anise, oranges, raisins, and peeled almonds. Try them all and find the one you like best.
Cassis Juice is a Must
There are many spices, but the blackcurrant juice is essential. Here is a recommended blackcurrant juice that has been used in Finland for a long time, and it is a product that is diluted five times.
One of the best baked goods in Finland, in my opinion, is date cake. The date cake comes in a variety of flavors, including a coffee version and a glögi version. Please try them.
