Jaderne!
Sure, we are really well aware of it, here on the mountain tapas that "jader" is a familiar term for a part of the female anatomy that often causes considerable attention from it compared to the woman opposite sex. I am certainly not blind to their appeal, but nevertheless, it should be about something quite different, although we can still find some associations with it (now in relation to yours truly) opposite sex. It should be about hin green fairy, absinten, tapas in one of its finer incarnations.
Back in the dark ages, around the year 2000 there was virtually no absinthe, which was to have, and really was worth drinking. There were various kinds of Czech aviation gasoline, in Copenhagen could get Kruts Karport that most resembled a high-octane version of a mediocre pastis, and then there was a certain selection of Spanish brands as was reasonably drinkable. A whole-hearted attempt to make a good absinthe like in the old days did not exist.
This put Ted Breaux, one biochemist from New Orleans, decided to do something about. He had, by virtue of his daily work access equipment with high precision could analyze the contents of various liquids and spent their leisure time to run samples tapas of original, old absinthe through the mill. He eventually got a good feel for how a selection of the grand old brand was created and founded the company Jade Liqueurs, which launched the closest you can probably get on a recreation of them. This glorious absinthe produced in the distillery Combier in Saumur, a picturesque town in the Loire Valley in affordable distance from the small corner of France, where I find myself writing.
Saturday we saw a bunch that went on a trip here. It had turned out that Ted Breaux itself believed to be the same day, so there was some chance that we would run into him. Saumur is dominated by the castle that towers on a cliff above the town. It looks like an adventure castle, but it's tapas not a movie set or a theme park, it was founded in 900 AD as a defense against marauding Vikings, since torn down and rebuilt.
Combier distillery just celebrated this weekend their 175th birthday. It is located centrally in the city, next to one of the recurring main streets. You move through a gate into an oblong tapas courtyard, and at the bottom left is the small hall where destillationsapparaterne face. Beautiful, old cases in shiny copper.
On Combier, they make a variety of fruit spirits and liqueurs, and then comes Ted Breaux So from time to time by and make absinthe and another tapas specialty, he has developed: tapas Perique, a liquor made of fermented tobacco leaves. He was, as he had announced himself just arrived and took us into a back room. Here were long rows of large, blue barrels with different content. One was full of Edouard, one of Jade absinterne, and my fellow students, who for the most part were complete novices in the field, could thus get a hurt fine introduction to the Green Fairy.
We also got some samples of other things - first, the above Perique in a not quite finished version, partly raw material to a cocoa liquor (!). The distillery obviously had a shop attached so we could get some supplies with us on our onward journey.

Distilled spirits with wormwood, anise, fennel and a variety of other herbs. Typically, 68% alcohol, can vary from 45 to over 80 The flavor reminiscent of other aniseed drink pastis, just much more complex.
Drip ice-cold water into absinten. The slower tapas the better. 3-5 parts water to 1 part absinthe. For a sweeter taste, you can let the water drip over a spoon with sugar. Never fire absinten, it ruins the taste.
Absinthe is white (blanching) or green (verte). Verte is dyed with herbs after distillation. There are variants with colored flowers which may be yellowish or reddish. Absinthe with bright colors are artificial and should be avoided.
Thujone is a neurotoxin found in wormwood - and other herbs, for that matter. Do not worry about thujonindholdet in your absinthe - within permitted limits may not be toxic or make you stoned.
