rosehip tea is the cheapest caffeine-free tea at the store I buy my groceries,
and I've grown to really like it over the years -- it's comforting with a nice
warm drink in the evenings without worrying about it affecting my sleep. the
tea also forms for a nice base for adding spices to it to enhance the flavour
further. following is the way I make (~two servings of) a sweet tea that tastes
like gløgg.

ingredients:
 - 2 bags of tea
 - ~8 cloves
 - a couple star anise seeds
 - cinnamon
 - sugar

1. cook up water, and add the two tea bags before it starts boiling.
2. add the cloves and anise seeds.
3. add cinnamon and sugar to taste. I like it very sweet, some don't.

and that's basically it. gløgg is expensive and takes long, this is easy and
tastes basically the same.
