(thymus praecox ssp. arcticus).<br />
It is found predominantly<br />

A special vari<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
The last in this little <strong>se</strong>ries of<br />

fjord veget<strong>at</strong>ion is the contents<br />
of the ptarmigan crop.<br />

■ The crop is found <strong>at</strong> the top of the ptarmigan’s breast and<br />
is often filled with many plant parts suitable <strong>for</strong> flavouring snaps.<br />
The crop it<strong>se</strong>lf is about 5 cm across.<br />
The contents of the ptarmigan crop are rin<strong>se</strong>d and dried.<br />
Empty the contents of the<br />
ptarmigan crop and rin<strong>se</strong><br />
in cold w<strong>at</strong>er and then dry<br />
or freeze in a plastic bag. In<br />
our ca<strong>se</strong>, the vari<strong>at</strong>ion of the<br />
contents was limited, so we<br />
added some mountain cranberries<br />
and crowberries to<br />
give the aquavit a beautiful<br />
reddish colour. Usually the<br />
contents of the crop are sufficient<br />
to flavour the aquavit,<br />
giving it a brown colour.<br />
All the mentioned <strong>her</strong>bs<br />
are found from the edge of<br />

the plant parts th<strong>at</strong> are u<strong>se</strong>d<br />

two to three months and<br />
up to six to twelve months.<br />
It is also advisable to make<br />
a strong-flavoured es<strong>se</strong>nce<br />
by using a large quantity of<br />
<strong>her</strong>bs in a modest amount<br />
of Brøndum aquavit in a<br />
tightly clo<strong>se</strong>d jar. When you<br />
want to <strong>se</strong>rve the aquavit <strong>at</strong><br />
lunch you can dilute it with<br />
aquavit.<br />
