Turkey--Livin' on Lion's Milk

From the ancient ruins of Troy to the mosques and bazaars of Istanbul, host Kevin Brauch discovers Turkey's rich traditions and their fondness for the spirit - raki. It's also known locally as Lion's Milk because of the color the spirit turns when ice or water is added. This deliciously sweet cousin to Greek ouzo and French pastis is a Turkish staple when sharing good times with friends and family. The question is, however, how much Lion's Milk can the Thirsty Traveler down?
