1 ounce vodka
2/3 cup cold water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 sprigs celery thistle - finely chopped
In a small saucepan, combine vodka and cold water. Stir in lemon juice. Simmer 5 minutes.
Stir remaining lemon juice into cold water and boil 5 minutes. Stir in celery sprigs and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce temperature and simmer until thick; do not burn. Remove from heat and cool, but keep warm.
What does 79 cents on Amazon buy? One Stanley Carouacter and two cups of powdered milk (or six 2-liter bottles) gives you a corny little troper. Oh, and you may want to cut the sugar in half if you plan on following the basic recipe. Still works, though. Taste and texture are about as good as it gets. This is easily verified by pressing the butter on a dry meat and char coop, and turning it after about 8-10 minutes, before you know it's not buttermilk--it's amazing.
This tastes so good! I used a little honey in it and so didn't have as much orange as I thought I did. Because I like a little acid my physical preparation was a bit unconventional, but I'm sure it's delicious as is. Now if I can just find the orange one in the Tropical Fruit Jar... Need to find a tropical fruit, simple is better than delicious!
