#EASTERAQUAVIT AND #EASTERDECORATIONS #SWEDISHSTYLE

It is Easter and Lockdown week 3! Even more reason to make this holiday an extra good one. I infused some Vodka with spices etc to go with the eggs (boiled) and herring. Schnaps for Easter! Swedish way. Here is what I used this year. Mandarin peel,  1 table spoon cummin seeds and one vanilla pod with 33 cl of vodka. In a bottle of 20 cl I put 10 rasberries. In the small bottles (5 cl) one strawberry and a mix of cucumber and lemon peel. Let infuse in sunlight for at least one day. Will keep for a long time, at least until midsummer. Freeze before serving. Drain of the fruit and spices after a couple of days.

We would normally be in our summer house in Sweden for Easter and I take in some birch branches and dress with feathers and egg decorations. Fortunately I have some egg decorations in stock (from Ikea ages ago) so during one of our Lockdown walks we cut some branches and took in! Now on our mantelpiece in our dayroom! 

These decorative and simple wooden eggs in different colours I got at Ikea for over 20 years ago. Why don´t they still make them?

In our new dining room (which is a pass through room with an indoor window) the branch is bigger and the colourway from yellow to green and blue! HAPPY EASTER!
