Absinthe Kit - Make Your Own Absinthe at Home
Absinthe is a green liqueur made from the herb wormwood, which contains the compound thujone. It was banned in the Netherlands until 2005. Modern absinthe contains a safe concentration of thujone, so you can enjoy it worry-free with this kit. Side effects from excessive consumption are mainly due to the high alcohol content. So drink absinthe in moderation to make sure you don’t turn green yourself.
The Green Fairy
In the 19th century, absinthe became very popular among artists. It was nicknamed the Green Fairy at the time. Artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Picasso, and Oscar Wilde all used it. They believed it stimulated their creativity and provided clarity and an open mind.
How do you make absinthe?
With this absinthe kit, you have everything you need to brew this enchanting drink. All you need to do is add (500ml) of vodka or another strong, neutral spirit. Absinthe tastes very bitter on its own, which is why other herbs like anise and coriander are added—ingredients you’ll also find in this absinthe kit. In the past, ice-cold water was dripped over a sugar cube and then stirred into the drink. With this absinthe kit, you can recreate this old ritual.
Warning regarding use
Even though we’re convinced that you, as a user of psychedelics, know where the line between healthy and unhealthy use lies, we couldn’t resist reminding you of the effects of excessive use. In the long term, this has negative consequences for both your body and your mind. This is mainly due to the high alcohol content. Therefore, the same rule applies here: enjoy, but in moderation.
