Absinthe With Wormwood Recipe


Absinthe circa 1800

This original recipe from the 1800's lists the herbs used to make absinthe. Wormwood contains thujone which can be hard on the liver and kidneys and should be used with caution. That said, the high alcohol of this spirit was responsible for much of the bad reputation of absinthe for deleterious side effects. If you are bravehearted enough to try making this brew, stick with occasional use in small doses.

Cautions: Use in moderate amounts. For adults only.
