Absinthe Kits

You can find different types of Absinthe kits availableto purchase online, all of them intended to make your personal “Green Fairy” bottled Absinthe drinks.

With a few kits you should follow a recipe and steep an array of traditional Absinthe herbs, for instance buy-absinthe wormwood, aniseed and fennel, for a few days or work with a special 2 step steeping process. With other Absinthe kits, you have to mix Absinthe herbs that has a neutral alcohol base, for example vodka, and after that filter the amalgamation after a couple of days. Neither of these methods will make real Absinthe as there is no distillation involved.

A few of these Absinthe kits can be dangerous. One available on the internet claimed to make an Absinthe liquor with a thujone content of 80-90mg. Studies have shown that vintage Absinthe in the nineteenth century and early 1900s contained simply a small amount of thujone, nowhere near 80mg! Thujone is a chemical found in wormwood which may be toxic and impact the GABA receptors inside the brain causing muscle spasms and convulsions when taken in large quantities.

Absinthe was forbidden in the early 1900s since it was thought to have psychedelic effects, cause insanity and hallucinations. This has now been totally disproved and Absinthe is legal generally in most countries. Absinthe is no more hazardous than any of the other formidable spirits like whisky and vodka.
