Different Absinthe Recipes
Get the knowledge of history of Absinthe. Absinthe was created in Couvet of Switzerland, in the late 18th century by a French doctor as a medicine. By 1805 the absinthe recipes had got into the hands of Henri-Louis Pernod who started distilling it in his factory in Pontarlier in France.
Original Absinthe Recipes
Pernod’s Absinthe, Original Pernod Fils, was distilled from wine and contained many natural herbs and essential oils from plants including grand wormwood, aniseed, melissa, fennel, lemon balm, dittany, angelica root, hyssop, star anise, nutmeg and juniper.
Different manufacturers of the Green Fairy (Absinthe’s nickname) used different recipes and ingredients. Absinthe production also includes herbs like calamus root, mint, cloves, nutmeg, roman wormwood, anise seed, coriander, sweet flag and licorice. The name and the bitter taste of pre ban Absinthe was due to the herb wormwood, Artimesia Absinthium from which it was prepared.
The thujone content in wormwood was believed to be similar to THC in the drug cannabis. Psychedelic effects are caused because of high intake of thujone content. The seeds of anise and fennel contain anethole which is a psychoactive and Lapland grows Angelica root as a drug. Absinthe is a mysterious mix of sedatives and stimulants, no wonder that artists and writers like Van Gogh and Oscar Wilde claimed that it gave them their genius and inspiration! “A clear headed drunkenness” is description on being drunk on Absinthe.
Absinthe was famously banned in France in 1915 when Prohibitionists claimed that it was going to ruin the country and send everyone insane. There is no harm in drinking Absinthe. There is no health risk from Absinthe as it is mainly alcohol with a very less quantities of wormwood and the other herbs.
