I'm making a alcohol-free version of mulled wine (called glögg in Swedish) with the juice from my homegrown fruits and berries. I'm using raspberries, blackcurrants, cherries and apples. This fruit and berry juice glögg is the perfect warm drink on a cold and snowy day.

Instructions:

Dilute your concentrated juice but keep it strong, for example 1 part juice and 1 part water. Put it in a pot.
Add spices like a cinnamon stick, cardamom, whole cloves and bitter orange peel.
Bring the juice to a boil and put it somewhere cool for a few hours, or preferably over night. Leave the spices in the juice.
Pour the glögg through a sieve and heat it again before you serve it.
Serve with dried fruit and nuts in a glass.

You can keep the glögg in your fridge and drink it later too. Serve it with almonds and raisins to drink it the traditional Swedish style.

My homemade glögg is perfect for a snowy winter day. I love that I could use the summery flavors from my garden to make it!
