Wormwood Questions and Absinthe

Recommended Posts

What are the legal implications in growing wormwood?. How is it grown? What does it look like ?

And what is the process of making REAL Absinthe?

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"

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%].
