    never heard of it but this is what Google found
    Ingredients

    1 cup vodka
    1 sprig fresh dill
    One (2-inch) strip of lemon zest, without pith
    1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
    1 pod star anise
    1/4 teaspoon fennel seed

    1 Put the vodka, dill, and lemon zest in a sealable glass jar. Seal and shake, then let steep at room temperature for one day. Remove and discard the lemon zest and dill.

    2 Add the caraway seeds, star anise, and fennel seed to the infused vodka. Let steep at room temperature for an additional 2 days. If you’d like a stronger flavor, continue to steep for up to two weeks. When desired flavor is achieved, strain through cheesecloth. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

    The recipe sounds good. I checked with a person that works for a liquor store in this area and she has heard of it but they don’t carry it. She is going to check to see if they can get it. Thanks for the help.

    Against my policy to post, But Aquavit is a Norweigen Potato Vodka. I tried some that came from the country….Tasted like Tequila! I liked it!
