Wormwood (1 oz)

Artemisia absinthium

The principal ingredient in the legendary liqueur absinthe, wormwood use dates back before 1600 BC. While used historically as a beverage ingredient, the FDA advises against the internal use of wormwood due to the substance thujone. Though wormwood is still used in the production of vermouth and Campari, it is another variety than Artemisia absinthium.
