Absinthe the herb not the drink, otherwise known as wormwood. It's not just something used to make spirits. It's also an ingredient used for medicinal purposes, as well as cooking.

Absinthe is not just a drink that we talked about. In my episode of Fabulously Delicious with Forrest Collins from 52 martinis. But absinthe is also a herb, which can often be called Wormwood, Grande Wormwood, Absinthium, Mugwort, Wemout, Wermud, Wormit or Wormod.

Absinthe or Wormwood grows in North Africa and regions of Eurasia as well as now Canada and North America.

Although it is used as an ingredient in the popular drink Absinthe and other spirits as well it is mostly used as an ornamental plant.
