I love absinthe, but I want more! More flavour, more effect!
This absinthe dials up the flavour and adds a few ingredients you may not expect.

Recipe:
Macerate the following at 60c for 24 hours.
2L / 0.52 gal of smokey "vodka"    • How To Make A DIFFERENT Vodka At Home  
90 g wormwood
120g Anise
120g Fennel
12g dried mint
35g lemon balm
20g coriander seeds
5g angelica seeds

Proof down to 40% abv and pot distill. Take a small amount from the top of the run and look to cut to tails at around 60% abv.

Split the distilled spirit in half. Macerate one half at 60c with the following for 1 hour:
2g hyssop
4g petite wormwood or mugwort
1.5g lemon balm
8g yerba mate (add this in with around 40 min to go)

Combine the two halves back together and proof down to your desired ABV (I went with 60%). Use water or yerba mate brewed at 80c for a hour.
