Naomi Olsen-Zelman's heritage Gløgg

Naomi’s father moved to America from Norway when he was 12 years old. Growing up, Norwegian traditions were very important to her family around the holidays. One of those traditions was making gløgg. It’s a spiked Norwegian mulled wine, and her bestemor (grandmother) would make it every Christmas. This drink reminds her of the holidays and the people she loves. It’s warming, delicious, and cozy. Best enjoyed before your Holiday meal with loved ones.
