How to Remove Herbs from an Absinthe Recipe

Hi my name's Allen for Expert Village, and today I'm going to discuss the controversial and banned alcohol, commonly known as Absinthe. So still shaking it up every once in a while when we added the new pack of herbs to it over last two days. Everything is pretty much set and ready to go. Now the last little pack of herbs that was included and that we put through this, really gave it its final flavor, which added a lot of mint type flavor and things like that. It also gave its very, very bright green color which is really come to known as Absinthe really looks like. It is still very bitter. They do recommend maybe putting in corn syrup or honey. Things like that. Depending on how you want to serve it. Now if you serve it the French way, with the sugar cube, which is the way I'm going to do it, you're not going to add the honey and things like that. It really doesn't specify how much, so if you want to play around with it, see if you like it or whichever way you want to do it, that's totally up to you. Now I'm just going to ahead and take out this final packet of herbs that we used. So I'll just go ahead and find it in here, grab it, squeeze it out a little bit. Get all of those final juices out. And the next stage after this is going to be the filtering stage, the micron filter stage, to get out all the additional impurities. Things like that. So if you wanted to, you could also do the things with the vodka we did before. Pour it over it, and just get the rest of the juices out. I'm just going to squeeze it out; I think that's enough. We've got enough alcohol in this already. So we just squeeze it. It's almost like the tea bag type idea, and we can put it right in there.
