Summer snaps | Swedish | Vegan-gluten free | Midsummer

Hello my lovelies! I bet you've heard the stories of Midsummer and how during our grand feast there would be laughter, singing, dancing around the Midsummer pole and while we celebrate there will be snaps held up high in the air and a loud cheer of skål can be heard through the summer night and I would say you aren't incorrect. We are a very traditional people at heart and the joy these traditions truly are a joy not only to part take in but to behold. With this I wanted to share some snaps recipes and wish you all a happy Midsummer!
