making absinthe question
    #7357362 -

Ok i have a few questions about making my first batch of absinthe.


All i can find is vodka at 50% alcohol i was told that i can distill this and get a higher product around 180 proof (after it is distilled)and then add wormwood to that for about 6 or so days distill that and then add flavorings correct? Anyone have a simple guide with the use of simple distillation? i cant seem to find any links that are accurate.my recipe is going to be

29g Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
4g Anise Star Pod (Illicium verum)
4g Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare)
4g Coriander Seed (Coriandrum sativum)
4g Calamus root (Acorus calamus)
4g Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
4g Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
4g Angelica Root (Angelica archangelica)
4g Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)

4g Anise Star Pod (Illicium verum)

I'd leave that nasty shit out and replace it with lotus...

well look...if your distilling it you could make it whatever proof you'd like...distilling is sort of complex...please google it...you'll need a still...

Here's my Recipe for my Absinthe-

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Lemon Balm
Mint
Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera flower petals
Fennel Seed (Foeniculum vulgare)
Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
Angelica Root (Angelica archangelica)
sassafras Root

All of the above would go into the mash...

Allowed to sit, then distilled...

For coloring I'd use-
sassafras Root
Lemon Balm
Mint
Cannabis Clippings
Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera flower petals

And alittle bit of Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)

Culinary Arts, Gardening and Brewing -> right here

Answer to your questions -> here

The wok still is your simplest option but if cashflow allows, small pot stills and reflux stills can be had for reasonable prices through websites.

Non-distilled absinthe will taste like SHIT...


I don't think he wants an alcoholic herbal infusion...

He wants ABSINTHE...


I donno about letting it sit 2 WEEKS...I was thinking like 3 days...
