 Hej Dan!
I was wondering if "beger" was the equivalent to the America cup. That is why I thought that much juniper berry was a lot. When I made the recipe yesterday I experimented with a variation and some suggestions. I will post it soon.

Hej Aelina

"SS" is Norwegian, short for Spiseske, 15 ml, or 1 tbs.  "Beger" means a
*type* of cup, but not necessarily one that holds 250 mls- it's more
commonly translated as "chalice" or "beaker". "snofriske" is kinda
problemmatic... in Sweden, at least, there's no variant of juniper called
that (we know of anyway)...one thing that came to me, was that perhaps it
meant winter-harvested, which might explain the large amount- after hanging
on the bushes through the fall and part of the winter, perhaps some of
the flavour compounds would have leached out? But that's just a guess...
