Description
Wormwood most famously is the source of absinthes psychedelic power. It was used as a muse by artists and writers in the mid and late nineteenth century. A teaspoon in a cup for tea or soak it in alcohol to make absinthe, the choice is yours.
Content: 80 grams shredded
Use:
Brewing tea is as easy as a teaspoon of wormwood in a mug followed by hot water. Do not cook but leave to steep as you would normal tea. Wormwood tea is inescapably bitter. Combining other teas like peppermint or liquorice just makes bitter peppermint or liquorice tea. This tea though is an excellent appetite stimulant and in stronger doses will give a gentle consciousness shift.
To make absinthe simply soak forty grammes of wormwood in half a litre of strong alcohol for two weeks. Pernod or Sambuca work well as their strong flavours disguise the bitterness. Strain well. Experiment thoughtfully at first. Only try a small sample. If all is well after an hour continue experimenting until green fairies appear.
Warning:
In high dosages Wormwood is poisonous. Long and intensive use can lead to addiction, as well as physical and mental harm. High dosages can give nervousness, restlessness, cramps, headaches and dizziness.
