Hello,
So I'm new to the tribe...and Burning Man for that matter (I lost my virginity this year)-- I was camping with the Temple Crew and Burners Without Borders ( www.burnerswithoutborders.org/ ). Though I spent a decent amount of time by my neighbors at the Hookahdome...I, unfortunately, didn't get to sample your traveling bar.
I have been researching Absinthe for a while now...I've read a lot of FAQs and random posts. I've learned that the "infusion method" does not make true absinthe...which I'm honestly not concerned about. I enjoy and entertain the idea of making a strange "potion." And I have no intentions of investing in a still at this point in my life.
I found this website: www.deadflesh.org/fear/absinthe.html
I'm curious if it was created by one of your camp's members-- for whatever reason, I’m intuiting that it was not. Either way, however, I am curious if you all use a similar infusion method or do you actually distill your absinthe?
I'm thinking about trying it for kicks...unless anyone more knowledgeable about this stuff tells me it is dangerous-- I know wormwood isn’t something to play around with heedlessly. So any knowledge from you folks will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
