2 cs honey
1 c water
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1 T ground cinnamon
1/2 t ground cloves
1 t orange or lemon zest
2 1/2 c vodka
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except for vodka and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer; simmer for 5 minutes. Add the vodka, and when heated through, serve immediately in Irish coffee cups. Serve chilled later in juice glasses (can also be reheated for serving later but be careful not to boil). Makes 5 cups. A relaxing drink meant to be sipped slowly. Great for warming up and unwinding after winter sports. Excellent serve hot right away, but improves with aging. The better the vodka and honey you use, the better this will turn out.
