Wormwood Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a woody-based perennial of the daisy family, Asteraceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia and North Africa and naturalized across North America on dry roadsides and waste ground. It forms a bushy clump 60 to 120 cm tall with grooved stems and deeply divided, silvery-grey leaves covered in fine silky hairs that release a strong, sharp, sage-like scent when brushed. Small, nodding, pale yellow flower heads are borne in leafy panicles in late summer. It is intensely bitter and the defining flavor of absinthe and vermouth. We extract the dried herb.
