Wormwood Powder 4 oz (Ajenjo) for Herbal Shots

Wormwood powder, 4 oz. Artemisia absinthium, the aerial herb and leaf of the wormwood plant, milled fine, one ingredient, organic or wildcrafted depending on the harvest. Grown and harvested in Albania. Known in Spanish as ajenjo.

How to use it, and why the powder is different

Wormwood Powder is traditionally prepared as an herbal shot. It can also be prepared as a tea or tincture. To prepare as an herbal shot, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Wormwood Powder to 4 ounces of boiling water. Mix well. Cover and steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then enjoy. Stir again before drinking, since the powder settles. A little wormwood goes a long way, since the taste is intense.

What it tastes like

Very bitter, sharply so, closer to the bitterness used in absinthe and vermouth than to a mild garden herb. The wormwood plant's bitterness comes from a compound called absinthin, a fact about the plant, not a claim about what it does in the body. This powder is not meant to be sweetened or masked. It is naturally caffeine free.

What is in the bag

Wormwood powder and nothing else. One ingredient, no fillers, no additives and no flow agents.

What wormwood powder is, and what it is not

The plant is wormwood Artemisia absinthium, a silvery leafed member of the daisy family, also called common wormwood or, less often, worm wood. This bag is the dried aerial herb and leaf, the wormwood leaf, milled to a fine powder, sometimes called wormwood herb or herb wormwood. It is not wormwood extract, a concentrated liquid product made a different way and sold separately. This is the whole herb, powdered, nothing extracted or concentrated.

Other ways it is used

Wormwood has been used as a bitter herb in European households for generations, most familiar as the plant behind absinthe, the absinthe plant. It is taken in small amounts, since the bitterness is strong.

How to store it

Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.
