Traditional absinthe recipes call for a maceration of natural, whole wormwood and other herbs such as anise, licorice, hyssop, veronica, fennel, lemon balm, and angelica. Such absinthe may in fact be quite expensive and be labeled with somewhat misleading information. Very low quality absinthe may be made using cheap herbal extracts or essences, as well as artificial flavors and colors. Lower quality absinthe is essentially made from an herbal maceration, and no herbs are used during the distillation process. This is referred to as an herbal maceration (without subsequent distillation). The color is created later during the absinthe production process when herbs are merely soaked in the alcohol that has already been distilled with herbs. The herbs used during this process are not used to impart the characteristic color to the absinthe. Quality absinthe is made by using herbs during the distillation process. The brouilleur is removed before drinking the prepared absinthe. The water will gradually drip through the brouilleur into the absinthe. The brouilleur is placed over the glass, and water, ice cubes, or ice water (as well as sugar if desired) is added to it. Brouilleur devices can also be used to automatically drip the water into individual glasses.
