Common mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a leafy plant in the daisy family, prized for its flavour and scent, which is like a minty juniper. Its sweet herbal aroma makes both the fre sh and dried leaves and flowers a pleasure to work with. It's most often drunk as a tisane or used as a herb in poultry, cabbage, and egg dishes, but it can also be used in baking or confections. Also known as the mother of all herbs, it has been used in Europe for centuries instead of hops in beer making. Also sometimes called wild wormwood, it is not at all related to the mildly toxic wormwood plant used in absainthe. Show more
