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.

ingredients
1 pound dark brown sugar
1/2 pound butter, salted
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground white cardamom
1 bottle (fifth-size) dark rum, top-quality
directions
MAKING THE BATTER: Put all batter ingredients (everything but the rum) in a food processor and run it until the mixture turns creamy. Fold it down once with a rubber spatula to make sure the spices are blended in, then run the food processor some more.
Scoop the mixture into a plastic container and refrigerate. It will keep for many months in the refrigerator, even though it contains butter.
MAKING THE DRINKS: Fill a coffee mug half full of boiling water. The easiest way to do this is to put a mug of hot water in the microwave. If you don't have a microwave, then fill the mug with boiling water, pour it out, then fill it half full of boiling water.
Add about 2 generous tablespoons of batter. Stir until the batter dissolves in the hot water. Use a small wire whisk for this stirring.
Add 2 jiggers (about 3 oz) of the best rum you can afford.

This is our favorite toddy recipe. We cut the butter in half but otherwise follow the directions. My one complaint is the "mug" as a measurement. I have mugs everywhere from 11-20 oz. I aim for 12-14 oz. and it works out great.
