** Absinthe #1 **





1 pint vodka

2 tsp crumbled wormwood (dried)

2tsp anise seed

1/2 tsp fennel seed

4 cardomom pods

1 tsp majoram

1/2 tsp ground coriander

2 tsp chopped angelica root

1 2/3 cups sugar syrup



Place vodka in large jar with tight fitting lid. Add wormwood and shake well; steep 48 hrs and

strain out. Crush seeds and pods in mortar. Add them and all remaining spices to vodka and

steep in a warm place 1 week. Filter and sweeten. (The sugar syrup mentioned above is your

standard simple syrup.)





** Absinthe #2 **





1 tsp crumbled wormwood

1 cup vodka

2 Tbsp chopped peppermint leaves

1 piece of lemon peel, 3/4"x2"

1/3-1/2 cup sugar syrup



Steep wormwood in vodka for 48 hours. Strain out and add peppermint leaves and lemon peel.

Steep for 8 days, strain and sweeten. Smells good but is more bitter than #1.





** Absinthe Wine **



All herbs are dried.





2 tsp peppermint

2tsp dried wormwood

2 tsp thyme

2 tsp lavender

2 tsp hyssop

2 tsp majoram

2 tsp sage

2 pints port



Steep herbs one week, filter and bottle. My notes describe this as "bitter, aromatic and

potent".





** Absinthe #3 **



From Arnold's article in Scientific American:



An 1855 recipe from Pontarlier, France, gives the following instructions for making absinthe:

Macerate 2.5 kilograms of dried wormwood, 5 kilograms of anise and 5 kilograms of fennel in 95

liters of 85 percent ethanol by volume. Let the mixture steep for at least 12 hours in the pot

of a double boiler. Add 45 liters of water and apply heat; collect 95 liters of distillate. To

40 liters of the distillate, add 1 kilogram of Roman wormwood, 1 kilogram of hyssop and 500

grams of lemon balm, all of which have been dried and finely divided. Extract at a moderate

temperature, then siphon off the liquor, filter, and reunite it with the remaining 55 liters

of distillate. Dilute with water to produce approximately 100 liters of absinthe with a final

alcohol concentration of 74 percent by volume (4).

Putrescine can be ordered from many online chemical suppliers (look for it under the scientific names 1,4 diaminobutane or 1,4 butanediamine). My friend wants to put some of this stuff in his uncle's house coz his uncle pisses him off. We're trying to figure out how to get it in successfully. (He isn't allowed in the house)
