Confit means "to preserve" in French and in the culinary world, it refers to a dish in which meat is cooked slowly in its own fat with a special blend of spices.

1/2 cup kosher salt
6 bay leaves
2 tablespoons dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Combine the salt and bay leaves in a spice grinder and process until they are a powder. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Add the thyme, coriander, cumin, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
Store the confit spice in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.
