Aquavit translates to "water of life"
One simple pleasure I allow myself every winter, during the long dark evenings, is a small glass of aquavit, to sip slowly...
the herbs and spices are amazingly comforting. My favorite is one I make myself.
It is an easy Scandinavian recipe from a favorite cookbook:

It is considered "mock" because commercial vodka is used. I vary the additions of herbs
and spice according to what I'm in the mood for. For Christmas a fresh batch is always enjoyed!
Yes, the water of life!
