100 gram of alsem, magic herbs

Use

To smoke: When you smoke alsem it is recommended to use a sigaret-filter, so that you won't have bitter taste in your mouth and on your lips.

To drink as tea: most common to use is to drink the alsem as a tea.
Soak one teaspoon herb in one cup of hot (non-boiling) water. As the tea will have a bitter taste you can only try to mix a little pepermintleave or some anise with it to cover the taste.
You can't combine sweat and bitter, so don't mix your tea with sugar.

To make Absinthe: you soak 40 grams of Alsem in half a liter of strong drank (for instance Pernod). After seeking it, the drank is ready for use. First try a little glass to dose the effect.
