Wormwood *Organic (artemisia absinthium), Angelica Root , Hyssop, Coriander Seed, Balm lemon, Calamus root, Licorice Root , Anise seed oil , Star Anise and an adhesive GREEN FAIRY label to put on your finished bottle. Absinthe is as illicit as it is intoxicating. It is also among history's most notorious liqueurs - romanticised and maligned in equal measure. Sipped by OscarWilde, Baudelaire, van Gogh, Manet, Picasso and many other prominent artists and writers. Absinthe was first used in ancient Greece for its healing powers. It was believed to have stimulated creativity and to act as a curative and an aphrodisiac. Of course this is not as good as the old stuff they made in France and Van Gogh cut his ear off on maybe because it has not been distilled like they used to do but that's history and you can make the next best thing yourself. You must supply your own alcohol and sugar.Absinthe in it's finished form has been illegal in most of the world since about 1912 but this kit will supply you with all of the neccessary herbs and my tried and true recipe with instructions to create the worlds most infamous drink that Vincent Van Gogh, Edgar Allen Poe, Aleister Crowly and many others were notorious for using.
