Oooooh this sounds good.
A reason to love Winter!

I've still not understood what ROOT is, my dear Warren.

Essentially, ROOT is the alcoholic precursor to what we now know as Root Beer. It's a pre-Prohibition recipe that is 100% organic and 80 Proof. For more info, visit this page: http://www.artintheage.com/spirits-aita

Jonell: Root is derived from the revolutionary war era of Root Tea. I can only assume without doing the Food Timeline, but Root teas date back to the earliest culinary records. They varied from place to place. They are inferred in South Carolina's Low Country as “putting the root” on someone, but I'm sure that Root Tea, although possessing mystical qualities, doesn't “put a root” on anyone. I think they are artisan spirits made with passion and love. They taste of botanicals and dreams. They mix beautifully and bake up in brownies and dense chocolate flourless cakes like a champion. Root is old and new again. I just like it.

Nice recipe. There is over a foot of snow on the ground today and it's still coming down. Too late to run to the store for ingredients.

This sounds like a wonderful warming drink. I've not experienced root before, thank you for introducing it to me.
