Tips:
Vörtbrød is a traditional Swedish Christmas bread. Originally used to beer-herb (= vört) which is a by-product of beer brewing, as dejvæske in the bread hence the name. Beer-herb cannot be obtained in trade more, but a blend of porter and dark hvidtøl/malt beer should give the bread the right taste.
