Ukuba awuzange uve nge-absinthe, utywala obunobungqina obuphezulu obuqhelekileyo bufakwe umhlonyane, i-anise kunye ne-fennel. Ukusela i-absinthe kwakungekho semthethweni kumazwe amaninzi nge-1900s ngenxa yeentsomi ezininzi ezazingqonge isiselo esasithandwa ngelo xesha.
Zisebenza njani izinto ithi ukwenza i-absinthe, kufuneka uqale uthambise amayeza akhankanywe apha ngasentla etywaleni kwaye uchithe lo mxube. Le nkqubo ibangela ukuba utywala neoyile bohlukane, kushiye ngasemva kwamanzi kunye nazo naziphi na incasa ezikrakra ezihanjiswa ngamayeza. I-distiller emva koko ithatha utywala obucocekileyo kunye nomxube weoyile yezityalo kwaye iyangxengxeza kubungqina obuselwayo. Ngelixa abantu abaninzi bekholelwa ekubeni i-absinthe ibe luhlaza ngokwendalo, ulwelo luyacaca kude kube linyathelo lokugqibela lemveliso, xa abenzi be-absinthe bongeza kumayeza ngakumbi ukunika ulwelo umbala oluhlaza odumileyo.
Enye yeengcamango ezixhaphakileyo malunga ne-absinthe kukuba ukusela kuya kwenza ukuba ube ne-hallucinate. Ngoku ka Itafile yokuNgcamla , le ntsomi ayisiyonyani. Kwabangelwa ngokuyinxenye bubukho bomhlonyane njengesinye sezona zithako ziphambili ze-absinthe. Umhlonyane uqulethe i-thujone, eyinkomfa leyo unako yenza ukuba ube nemibono - kodwa ngaphakathi kuphela kakhulu Amanani aphakamileyo angekhoyo kwi-absinthe. Itafile yokuNgcamla Ukuqinisekisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba abantu babe nemibono xa besela i-absinthe, kodwa oko kunokwenzeka kumxholo wotywala ophezulu kakhulu oqulethwe kulwelo lwecharreuse. Uninzi lwe-absinthe luhamba ngokubanzi malunga nobungqina obu-120, obune (okanye nangaphezulu amaxesha) isixa kwiglasi yewayini ebomvu.
Ungathenga i-absinthe yokwenyani e-United States
Enye inkolelo eqhelekileyo kukuba i-absinthe ayikho mthethweni e-United States, okanye uvumelekile ukuba uthenge iibhotile ezingcolileyo, eziphantsi. Itafile yokuNgcamla iqinisekisa ukuba i-absinthe yayingekho mthethweni e-United States ukusuka ngo-1912 ukuya ku-2007, kwaye bajongana nemigaqo efanayo eYurophu. Emva kokuvulwa komsebenzi ngo-2007 Abavelisi be-absinthe babenakho ukuyeka ukusebenzisa i-loopholes, njengokufaka utywala ebhotileni phantsi kwegama lekhowudi, kwaye babuyisele kwimarike ukuze isetyenziswe luluntu.
Ngelixa uninzi lwalucinga ukuba ezi bhotile zivela e-United States ngo-2007 zazingezizo 'i-absinthe zokwenyani,' Utywala ithi iibhotile ezininzi ze-absinthe ezithengiswa e-US namhlanje ziyinyani kwaye zikumgangatho ophezulu. Xa kuthelekiswa ne-absinthe eYurophu, ibhotile ye-absinthe iyathengiswa e-United States ayinakufaneka ukuba ibe ngaphezulu okanye ikumgangatho ophantsi, ngenxa nje yemigaqo engqongqo. Imagazini yeMutineer icebisa ukuba le ntsomi inokusekwa kwinto yokuba i-absinthe e-US inqunyelwe kwi-10 milligram ye-thujone ilitha, ngelixa kwi-European Union, inokuqulatha ukuya kwi-35 milligram kwilitha nganye ukuba ibhalwe njenge 'bitters.' Le ndlela yokucinga ayilunganga, nangona kunjalo, njengoko isixa se-thujone esikhoyo singanxulunyaniswa nokuba okanye hayi isiselo 'yi-absinthe yokwenyani.'
