Aquavit

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Rounded Tsp Caraway Seed
1 Fifth Good Quality Vodka

Work the caraway seeds in a mortar for a few minutes. The seed only has
to be cracked a little. Add the seed to the vodka and shake well. Let
stand for two weeks in a warm but not hot area. Strain with cheesecloth.
If seed particles remain, strain through filter paper. This has a
slightly brownish color due to seeds being used rather than oil of
caraway which is used in commercial Aquavit. My husband loves this and
we make it quite regularly.
