Enjoying Glögi and Joulutorttu: A Finnish Winter Tradition

A cozy café scene with customers relaxing on a plush couch, enjoying glögi and joulutorttu. In winter, it is customary to sip glögi, a warm mulled wine traditionally served in crystal glasses. Accompanying the drink is a plate of freshly baked joulutorttu, which are Finnish Christmas tarts filled with plum marmalade.

As I was not bold enough to take photos of their servings, I took the liberty to show the glögi I was enjoying with a friend and the tarts I made for my family during the holidays. But all the same you get the picture 😀 . I hope.

How to Survive November 2024 – G

November 7th G is for Glögi – mulled wine.

This is often drank during Christmas season, often spiced with alcohol. This bottle is from last year, did not consume it back then

Lepis is hosting once again How to Survive November, and this year’s theme: Let’s follow alphabets! Every day the subject of the photo, drawing, painting, collage or whatever, is that day’s alphabet. First day the subject is something that starts with A, second day with B and so on. In Finnish there are few more alphabets than in English language: Å, Ä, Ö. The last day we’ll make a collage out of all the other photos. You can make a link from your page with InLinkz-page which is found on the right column of her page.
