Absinthe Kit

A professional kit to make yourself one litre of absinthe. The absinthe will have the same taste as the original drink from the 19th and early 20th century.

Its good to use less (0.5 l) of vodka (40%) and remove herbs after 4-5 days ;) It tastes like shit but works better than with 0.7 of 50% alcohol.

I agree with the person commenting on 23 april 2010.

This is absolute bullshit.
I myself am an Absynthe-drinker for a long time now, and I don't mean the crap you get from a supermarket.

The 'ritual' with the fire was never used in 'the old days' and is a useless invention from the 21st century czech absynth drinkers which caramelizes the sugar and therefor does no justice to the original bsynthe-flavour you get from the sugar and the absynthe which crystallizes and creates a milky white or green colour.

2 years ago I made this absinthe and preserved it in smaller bottles to give them as a present to some people. A while back someone told me he still had that bottle so we drank it. I can't describe the high we got from this. It totally blew us both away from the face of the earth.
So good advice, when you want to try it, order an extra kit to keep in your cellar for a while.

The absinthe you can brew with this kit is way better then the absinth one can buy in a store. I have enjoyed the effects a lot !

The described "absinthe ritual" is total bull. In the actual absinthe dilution, which some people do call a ritual, no fire whatsoever is involved. Only cold water is poured into absinthe through the optional sugar cube so, that the resulting drink is about 1/3 absinthe and 2/3 water, which causes the dissolved essential oils in the alcohol to crystallize and form a milky color. And you cannot get proper absinthe with this crappy set without repetitious soaking and distillation, and probably not even then, sorry. What you get is closer to czech absinth (note the absent "e"), which is only waste of alcohol.

Yep, what this does is get you drunk a bit faster. Nothing more.

warning this abinthe is very very bitter I'm serious. I countered this by adding regular absinth from the shops to counter the bitter taste. But all by all its a good drink makes you "drunk" just a bit earlier then you are used to .
