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.

If you're craving something sweet and a bit exotic, this baked rasmalai ricotta and Cardamom Dessert is your answer. Creamy ricotta combined with fragrant cardamom just might become your new favorite indulgence.

2 containers (15 ounce size) Ricotta cheese
