Discovered a new drink from some Greek friends of mine. Its call Ouzo.
First prepare the Raki. Raki (Turkish: rakı, pronounced [raˈkɯ] ) is a non-sweet, anise-flavored spirit popularly consumed in Turkey as an apéritif. First add honey, anise and pure Suma to boil.
Raki = honey + star anise + Suma
Then Ouzo is created by adding some water and the clear spirit becomes white. Ouzo (ούζο) is an anise-flavored spirit that is widely consumed in Greece and Cyprus. Its taste is quite similar to arak/raki in the Levant and Turkey, pastis or absinthe (France), Sambuca (Italy), mastika (Chios). It can be consumed neat or mixed with water.
Ouzo = Raki + water
The drink is drunk hot and it is great during winter with the hint of spicy taste that lingers.
