Now laws became softer concerning sale of absinthe, than they were a century ago. This drink adds paints to the repertoire of each bartender in Europe again. As all ingredients of absinthe are available (though we never learn an original compounding any more), you can make absinthe independently. The most part of components is on sale in any grocery store, a bench of spices or healthy food.
Sets for absinthe and special spoons and also pieces of lump sugar can also be acquired. Absinthe needs to be cooked for the use in a special way. Pour a glass of absinthe in a glass, put there a lump sugar piece that it became impregnated with drink, then put sugar on a special spoon with openings. Set fire to sugar. It will begin to melt and flow down through openings in a spoon in a glass with the remained absinthe. Let's sugar poburlit about a minute, then mix its remains with absinthe. Now add three parts of ice water to drink. It is possible to drink.
To make absinthe, it is required to you:
- 1 l of neutral alcohol-containing drink, for example, vodka;
- 100 g of a bitter wormwood;
- 1 tablespoon of a lemon balm (melissa);
- 1 tablespoon of seeds of a coriander;
