Would you believe today is National Absinthe Day? This green-hued and mystically exotic liquid is known to be the muse that so stirred the soul of many artists and poets, including Oscar Wilde, and had a vital role in creating their most heartfelt and hallucinogenic works. It was also once prescribed, legally, as a preventative for malaria. Then it was banned in many countries in the 1900s. And did not return until 2005

La Fée Verte Gelée

Absinthe ice cream with orange shortbread cookies. One of my strange food ideas that came out way better than I could have hoped. Made with coconut milk, coconut sugar, Pacifique Absinthe Verte Superior and Guittard Sante 72% dark chocolate.
