 A lot of misinformation
1. A kit you blend with vodka does not make absinthe. Absinthe is a distilled spirit- you macerate the herbs THEN distill it. These kits are merely flavoring.
2. Absinthe is legal in the US. The Fed government requires that thujone levels be kept to under 10ppm. This is not a problem nor has it ever been, although no one realized it until recently when it was discovered that if you distill Wormwood very little (under 10ppm) of the thujone carries through the distillation process. So, consequently a bunch of Absinthes have recently come onto the market and more are coming out.
google the wormwood society for the best info online. |
