flamingsword.5 oz of artemisia, fresh
.25 oz fresh anise and other herbs - to taste or leave out
8 oz of everclear
1 liter of vodka
Chop the artemisia and any other herbs you are using and add to the everclear. Seal tightly, then agitate daily for at least three weeks. Strain out plant matter and squeeze liquid out through cloth or coffee filter. Add liquid to vodka in a 2 liter bottle. Some settling may occur.
The really important part is to never let the artemisia/wormwood sit in water. Water will extract the polyphenols that make store bought absinthe so bitter. The alcohol will extract the thujone just fine on it's own.
ALWAYS get the plant matter out before you dilute the everclear mixture. I mean, unless you like really bitter things? You do you.
