Wine with the taste of wormwood was known in ancient Greece, but for modern people the history of wormwood alcohol begins with absinthe. Classic absinthe is prepared from white grape alcohol, surpassed with bitter wormwood, green anise and fenhel. This combination can be decorated with Issop, Melissa, Mint, Coriander and Roman wormwood A. Chlorophyll gives the to the absorption green, although there is a white version of the drink.

Absent is very strong, before use it is sweetened and diluted with water. The components of absinthe in water are poorly dissolved, so the finished drink becomes muddy and opens. In the 10ths, he was used in the French troops to prevent malaria, after which he became fashionable. In the French cafes and bistro at five o’clock in the evening they drank absinthe, this time was called the Green Hour.

At the end of the 19th century, the mass production of absinthe was established, it became very fallen in price, gained wide popularity, especially among Parisian artists and writers, and became one of the symbols of bohemian culture.

Dry deer leaves are placed in marinade, pre -placed in a gauze bag so that they do not stick to the meat. The dough is aromatized with lemon wormwood: in dried form, this grass is completely devoid of bitterness. And other drinks. Wormwood in German "vermuth". This is also called fortified wine from white or red grapes, flavored with herbs, flowers and fruits. There are different varieties of vermouth, but the main component of any is alpine wormwood or essence from it.

And lemon wormwood, along with lemon balm and kotovnik, add citrus note to it. Wormwood is an integral component of many liquors, that is, strong drinks that insist with sugar.

Sugar is also added to the absent, but already in a glass, so absinthe is not a liquor. One of the most famous wormwood liquors is chartresis. The recipe for chartrethes is a secret stored so far.It is known, however, that the composition of the liquor includes herbs, including alpine wormwood. And in the monastery since the XIV century, cats lived, very beautiful. The breed of chartresis is one of the first, bred in Europe, but it has nothing to do with the liquor.

The aroma is lost precisely with seed propagation.

The leaves of the stage do not contain bitterness, only carotene, ascorbic acid, alkaloids, flavonoids, cumarins and essential oil. Its main component is Monoterpen Sabinen, which is also part of the essential oils of some junipers, pine, geranium, marjoran.

Traditional medicine uses it as an anthelmintic, although for this purpose the Central Asian wormwood is more suitable for this plant. This plant is not food, but a medicinal, with an anthelmintic effect is sedquiterpene lacton Santonin, which are rich in leaves and stem. In the year, the Tiflis pharmacist Mitrofan Lagidze began to add Tarhun's Caucasian popgone extract to the carbonated water.

The drink was very popular, but had one drawback - it was not stored for a long time, because the essential oil that gives it the aroma is flying. In addition to the popgone extract, citric acid and sugar, it included a vanilla flavor and ascorbic acid, which stabilized the taste. Then, a simplified technology was developed, according to which Tarhuna extract replaced the taste -aromatic supplement.

The bright green color was achieved with the help of a dye of malachite green, but then it turned out that it was harmful to health. Now for staining Tarhuna, blue and yellow dyes are used.
