Red Grape Glögi is a warm and spiced drink that originated in Finland and is popular in other Nordic countries during the winter season. It is made by simmering red grape juice with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, giving it a sweet and warm flavor with a little kick. It is often served during the festive season or enjoyed as a treat on cold evenings. This alcohol-free and comforting drink is perfect for sipping while cuddling up with a good book or simply enjoying good company.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, pour the grape juice and add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ginger.

5.	Simmer the juice for another 10-15 minutes to let the flavors blend.
6.	Serve the Glögi hot in mugs, garnished with slivered almonds.
