VIRYTA (LITHUANIAN HONEY LIQUEUR)
This is a sweet, very potent beverage that can be found at Lithuanian festivals and Lithuanian social clubs in Baltimore. They usually pronounce it 'VIT-a-tis'. Viryta is usually homemade by descendants of Lithuanian immigrants, using recipes that have been handed down through the generations, and is a popular commodity around the holidays. It took me years to finally get someone to teach me how to make it; most of the people around Baltimore who make it are very secretive about their family recipes! I'd probably catch an earful if she knew I posted it online!

Steps:
- Crack the cardamom seeds and nutmeg with a heavy skillet on a cutting board. Toss them into a saucepan with the rest of the ingredients including the water. Bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Strain out spices, and set the liquid aside. Pour honey into a large pot, and bring to boil over medium heat. Skim off any foam from the top. Stir in the strained spice liquid and the vanilla extract. Remove from heat and place far from the stove to avoid any flare-ups from the grain alcohol. Slowly stir in the alcohol. Place the pot back on the burner over low heat and cover. Heat through, being careful not to boil or even simmer. Remove from heat and let stand overnight with the lid on. The following day, pour the liquid into sterile bottles, seal, and allow to settle for 2 weeks. The longer you let it sit the clearer it will become and the better it tastes. Serve warm.
