WORMWOOD LEAF ABSINTHE SPOON , GOLD-PLATED & 10 SUGAR CUBES + FREE SHIPPING !!!
The Wormwood Spoon is by far our most desired spoon. It is also one of the most sought-after
spoons by collectors of antique absinthe ware. The grille of the spoon features the grand wormwood
plant, Artemisia absinthium (the key ingredient in absinthe). Woven through the wormwood plant
is a banner which on the original spoons sometimes contained advertisement text.
This spoon is used in the preparation of a traditional French or Swiss absinthe. A traditional absinthe
is prepared by pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing the absinthe spoon on
top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. Ice water is slowly dripped from a fountain, carafe or
balancier onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water then drips from the spoon into the glass of absinthe
releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins
to turn milky white in color, as the water mixes with the anise.
