Crème d’Absinthe.—Put 3oz. of young green wormwood (absinthe) or, better still, the young flower shoots as they are about to open, into four or five quarts of good spirit, with three cloves and ⅗oz. of stick cinnamon. Let it infuse for eight or nine days, then strain; add to it one pint of plain syrup, filter, bottle, and cork securely. Mind nothing but silver (in the way of metal) touches this liqueur. Add a drop or two of liquid green colouring if not sufficiently coloured, but be careful with this.
