Just fill a jar with lavender flowers and vodka. Set it in the sun for three days. It makes one of the best muscle pain relievers you can imagine. It was not until the early 1300’s that vodka was produced as an alcoholic beverage. An Italian monk used the Persian technique and created “Aqua Vitae”, this is the base alcohol from which all other liquors come; Schnapps, Whiskey, Brandy, Cognac and Vodka. It was not until the late 1300’s that a merchant brought Vodka to Russia, and the legend began. Of course the Russian countryside is not applicable for grape production, so they processed rye for ethanol instead. Vodka has proven to be an American favorite over the years, and with the creation of flavored vodkas there is even more demand for it.
