Description
This is a description of a leaf designed spoon used in the preparation of absinthe. The leaf spoon is used to add sugar to the absinthe glass and to drip ice water onto the sugar, which then releases oils and perfumes the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise.
This leaf designed spoon is used in the preparation of a traditional French or Swiss absinthe. A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing the absinthe grille on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the grille. Ice water is slowly dripped from a fountain, carafe or balancier onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water then drips from the grille into the glass of absinthe releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to turn milky white in color, as the water mixes with the anise.
