What is Absinthe?

Absinthe is a strong, bitter, aromatic liqueur. Absinthe is as illicit as it is intoxicating and perhaps is history's most notorious beverage. Romanticized and maligned in equal measure; this absinthe has the same active ingredients and is just as strong but will not taste as smooth as the old stuff they made in France because my recipe does not require distillation.

In the early 1900's, the wine industry claimed that people became "mad" from the thujone in the absinthe. There is thujone in in wormwood and therefore, there will be thujone in your finished absinthe, but not necessarily any more than Vermouth, Campari, Jagermeister and other similar liquors. Though chronic use is not recommended, you will not become affected with madness from drinking Absinthe.

Though there is natural thujone present in this wormwood, I have no way of testing the amount in the finished absinthe produced from my kits.. I have had customers tell me that the organic wormwood I supply is the best they have ever found. Each kit comes with approximately 20 grams which is more than most commercial brands available from Spain or the Czech Republic.

I do recommend that Grain alcohol be used in the infusion process for the best results. The higher the ethanol content (proof) of the alcohol, the more the thujone will be extracted from the wormwood. Through nearly 3 years of research and experimenting with numerous recipes, I have refined the combination of nine different herbs to create a method of steeping without boiling in order to extract soluble elements for an authentic infused version of absinthe. Realizing that, with no still, it's not quite as pleasant tasting but that's the luxury I can't afford unless I move to Spain or the Czech Republic.Please read warning below. *

Absinthe was sipped by Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, Baudelaire, Vincent Van Gogh, Manet, Picasso, Edgar Allen Poe, Cezanne, Aleister Crowley, Toulouse-Lautrec and other prominent artists and writers. The first absinthe was used in ancient Greece for its healing powers. It was believed to have stimulated creativity and act as a curative and an aphrodisiac.

With these absinthe and absinthe wine herb kits, you can make your favorite absinthes for yourself through a simple infusion process right in your kitchen with no special equiptment.

*The toxicity of wormwood is attributed to a compound it contains called Thujone. Thujone can be toxic to the brain and liver. The leaves of the wormwood plant also contain a substance called santonin, which is said to cause vertigo and delusion in overdoses. Thus, this is doubtlessly why the excessive and chronic use of Absinthe can cause a wide variety of symptoms and maladies, including convulsions, hallucinations, tremors, and sometimes paralysis.
