Sweet Wormwood Herb
Sweet Wormwood is the dried herb of Artemisia annua, cut from a plant whose leaves are as finely divided as fennel fronds and whose flowers open as small yellow buttons. The taste is subtly sweet with a slightly bitter finish, and the aroma is fresh and herbal.
It is native to Asia and parts of Europe. In Chinese herbal traditions it is known as Qing Hao and has been used for centuries.
How to use it
Steep it on its own or in a blend for a gently sweet herbal tea. It also goes into soups and stews, giving broth a distinctive herbal complexity, and a small amount tossed through salads or vegetable dishes provides a fragrant, slightly bitter contrast to fresh greens. The feathery sprigs finish a plate well as a garnish. Add it towards the end of cooking; the aroma is volatile and a long boil flattens it.
