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.

I used to make Friendship Tea in the 1970's and I'm glad to say this is equal to the one I had. The only thing is you cannot find apricot Jell-O, at least in the winter time so I used, "Oregon Chai Spiced Original Chai Tea Latte Mix" and used 3 packets equal to 1/2 cup! It smells and taste so GOOD. ENJOY

I make this with sugar free Tang and Crystal Light powdered tea and lemonade along with the seasonings. It tastes just as good but has zero calories.
