Sauna Shots

Löyly (low-loo) - steam created when water is poured over the hot stones in a sauna; When you ladle water onto the kiuas (the sauna stove), it vaporizes instantly. This creates a wave of heat and humidity that rolls through the room. This specific physical sensation—the "whiz" of the water hitting the stones and the subsequent enveloping warmth—is the löyly.
