I'm a huge fan of terva (pine tar), a flavor used in the Finnish schnapps liquor of the same name (terva snapsi), licorice candies (tervaleijona) and for cooking.

Joy of joys, I've found a tervaleijona-flavored juice from Nordic Vapours. Trouble is, I'm not all that fond of licorice. I'd rather find a juice with the terva flavor and nothing else, much like the schnapps. Anybody knows if such a juice exists? Or perhaps a recipe with real terva?

Suurkiitokset!

Oh boy... I got the terva juice I'd ordered in the mail today. It tastes neither of Terva nor licorice. Instead, it tastes and smells EXACTLY like Vicks VapoRub cough suppresant, i.e. camphor, menthol and eucalyptus.

So, not terva, but I love it for some reason. It reminds me of my youth, when I had a cold and my mother rubbed the ointment on my chest, lovingly cared for me, and served me delicious mash with eggs in bed. Yeah I was sick, but my mom always managed to make those moments special. The faux-terva juice reminds me of those moments. Funny how memory works... So it's a keeper :)
