The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

An easy way to give simple apple cider some new life. I buy the cheap kind and simmering it like this for a few hours adds a lot of flavor.
