Could someone point me in the right direction to find the information myself? Or supply this information ? I see some growing around the place from time to time, it is very easy to grow. If you want to know about brewing, google would probally be the go, but do keep in mind what mark80 said. I once saw the process on "global village" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 13, 2008 it's illegal without license, but they theory of it is pretty straight forward. soak the herbs in high grade ethnanol for a while, then filter. distill the liquid to the desired or required percentage [for absinthe this is minimum 70%].
