Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) Wormwood is an aromatic herb most commonly known today as the special ingredient in vermouth & absinthe. Also known as green ginger, it provides its bitter flavoring & green color to those liqueurs & many others. Two-thousand years ago people used wormwood to make wormwood wine, & in Medieval times, it was used to brew beer particularly for its bitter taste. Additionally, its medicinal use can be traced back to ancient Egypt & Greece. To make wormwood tea, steep ½ to 1 tsp. of wormwood leaves in one cup of boiling water for 5-10 minutes. The longer it’s steeped, the more bitter it will taste. Popular additions to wormwood tea are peppermint, honey or lemon. Wormwood leaves can also be used in sleep satchels. It can be mixed with mugwort, lavender, & chamomile & placed near or under the pillow.
