Traditional Polish beverage usually served at Christmas. References have been made as far back as 476 a.d. and ingredients have been added over the years. Sweet but not to sweet, and a real comfort drink. Supposed to have all sorts of curative powers. Read more To me it's just from my heritage and tastes darn good! See less
Ingredients

How to make it
- Bring the water and honey to a boil and carefully remove the foam.
- add the cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla stick and orange peel.
- Cover and simmer for 15 minutes
- remove from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes
- bring back to a boil and slowly add the vodka
- remove and strain through a fine muslin or paper filter and bottle. (this is a great time to find that old broken coffee maker and take out the basket and line with a paper filter hint hint. OK so I am a packrat!
- leave the bottle for a week in a cool, dark place for the sediment to settle. Siphon off the clear liquid, heat and serve. Be careful over an open flame!!!
