Christmas Calendar 2017 - Christmas aquavita

During the years I have trying out different many different recipes on Christmas aquavita (Christmas aquavita with spices & Christmas aquavita a la Mette Blomsterberg), but my preferred recipe is this one Christmas aquavit, which for me has the simple and the best taste. I have the recipe from my Godmother.

You might as well get started on this aquavita, so it ready for Christmas and the many various Christmas lunches either before or after Christmas Eve.

This Christmas aquavit has a wonderful flavour of orange without being sweet. And it goes very well with the cold and warm dishes served at Christmas.

I find, that the glass with the dried orange peel and the aquavit looks like modern art, perhaps you could call it food art ?
