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.

You know by now that I love simple, and that I love fresh flavors. This recipe was both. It really needed nothing more than the little bit of salt called for as far as seasoning goes. I even used low sodium chicken broth and it didn't need more. I served it with steamed brown rice. Really good!
