Absinthe recipe
1x bottle of Pernod - aniseed flavoured spirit available most places.
2oz common wormwood - artemisia absinthum - very common plant in europe and US but must be common wormwood. Other varieties don't have the same effect.
Put the wormwood and pernod in a big jar and shake it up every day for 10 days.
Filter out the plant material.
Call everyone you know around for a party and serve it up.
Take no more than about 4 shots worth. Too much can put you out of action with thione poisoning for several days.
You'll know when the effects start because all of your little aches and pains will disappear! Thione is a tremendous analgesic. It affects different people in different ways - some flake out, others become very chatty and some will trip.
I remember laying in bed in total darkness watching long necked ladybugs running around on my pillow!
The only downside is the taste - it is extremely bitter. That's why Absinthe is flavoured with aniseed and in today's commercial brands very little thione is used. The real stuff that you make yourself is very potent.
Good luck!
