Wormwood is a species of Artemisia, a woody shrub known for its bitter aromatic taste, native to temperate regions of Eurasia and Northern Africa. In folklore both ancient and modern, this plant has gained a glamorous and mysterious reputation.
Wormwood is typically prepared as a tea, soaked in wine or spirits, distilled into an herbal extract, and can be found in capsules. To make an herbal infusion of Wormwood tea, take ½ a teaspoon of the crushed herb, add to one cup of boiling water, and let steep for ten to fifteen minutes. It is suggested to add peppermint and/or fennel to counteract the bitter taste as well as to increase the healing properties especially for digestive issues.
