Uses for Wormwood
Uses for Wormwood
As mentioned in the homebrew section, I've recently got my hands on a wormwood plant. Besides from the planned brewing and possibly looking into homemade absinthe (at half the abv). Does anyone know any good uses for wormwood?

Ah - I've learned something ...
Vermouth is a French mangling of the German word Vermut, which means wormwood. So apart from your wormwood ale, you can steep wormwood in a nice neutralish white wine, add some sugar and get something like a Cinzano Bianco.

Oh, I don't know ... a Cinzano and lemonade on a hot day, sitting out on the lawn with the sound of wasps buzzing ...
Yeah - you're right.
