I believe the answer is:

lounges

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'relaxes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how one could define the other.

'amazing seoul drinking nog without egg' is the wordplay.
'amazing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'drinking' is an insertion indicator.
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'egg' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'nog' with 'o' taken away is 'ng'.
'seoul' with letters rearranged gives 'loues'.
'loues' going around 'ng' is 'LOUNGES'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lounges that I've seen before include "Lies about" , "Spreads out" , "lolls" , "Hangs around - reclines comfortably" .)
