connecting with some family history, I discovered that some ancestors of mine were the original creators of Absinthe. It was in a tiny shop in Switzerland that a mother and her two daughters developed the tisane, and tincture, originally\u00a0for medicinal purposes. The women later sold the recipe to the man who eventually developed it into the liquor that we know today. I imagine these woman similar to myself. They would love to grow and harvest herbs, maybe during the full moon or at other times when the magic is high. They would dry, crush and mix the plants to create tasty and helpful concoctions for the people in their village. They must have been the witches of their time.<\/p>\n<p>After much research, I decided to honor them and recreate the recipe as it was originally, a tisane or tea. I make a mean absinthe tea. The herbs I use are those featured above with their fairy guardians. The green and golden colors these herbs produce when steeped along with their spicy and floral smells leave no doubt that there is magic in it.<\/p>\n<p>There are five fairies in all and now they are available as prints, posters, iphone cases, ipad cases, throw pillows and more.
