Absinthe Sugar Scrub Tart FEY GREEN


This listing is for 1 handmade sugar scrub tart. It contains sugar, goat's milk, coconut oil, sunflower oil, & beeswax to exfoliate, moisturize & help protect your skin. I also used my own lux* goat's milk soap to give it cleansing properties.

A blend of anise, sweet fennel, lemon balm & balsam fir essential oils & wormwood & juniper berry infused sunflower oil to give this tart a natural absinthe scent. Also marbled with a lemongrass scented goat's milk soap and topped with start anise.

Just break off desired amount and take into the shower, crush, and scrub. You should only scrub once every other day and maybe even less in the winter time unless you are scrubbing places such as elbows, knees or "chicken skin" ridden patches on your body.

Wormwood (Absinthe) Cupcake Recipe

WARNING - These cupcakes are not for the faint of heart, they are bitter and mind altering.



  • 125g vegetable shortening
  • ½ cup, plus 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup flour 
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons dried wormwood (artemisia absinthium)
  • 1  tablespoon dried peppermint
  • 1 tablespoon dried lemon balm
  • 4 tablespoons chinese 5 spice (fennel, anise, clove, ginger, cinnamon)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup powered sugar
  • green food colorant

Before hand, put a metal bowl into the freezer for the whipped cream icing and preheat oven to 180C.

Take vegetable shortening, lemon balm, wormwood, and peppermint and place in a jar. Screw on the lid and set into a pot of boiling water to infuse the shortening. Turn down heat and allow to simmer in the water for about an hour.

Strain your shortening with a cheesecloth and add more shortening if you come up short of 125 grams.

Place the shortening, sugar, 3 tablespoons "5 spice", eggs, baking powder, milk and flour into a bowl and whisk until blended.

Pour into cupcake molds and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick or knife comes clean when poked through the middle.

Take cream, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon 5 spice, and green food colorant and pour into metal bowl and whisk until thick.

Top the cupcakes with your icing when cool and enjoy.
