Tincture Recipe

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 oz dried herb
  • 5 fl oz vodka 80-proof or higher
  • 1 large glass jar with lid like a mason jar

Instructions

  • Weigh out 1 ounce of dried herb and 5 fl oz of vodka.
  • In a clean glass mason jar, add measured dried herb. Pour over the vodka, being sure that all of the dried herb is covered with vodka. If you need to, you can crush the herb up to make it fit under the liquid. The dried herb should be just covered with the liquid. You can use a weight if necessary.
  • Cap the jar tightly, label, and place in a dark cabinet or pantry for 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Once the tincture is ready, pour out the vodka through a muslin cloth and strainer. Pour the tincture into an amber or dark glass bottle with an eyedropper top. Cap tightly, label, and store in a pantry or cabinet away from direct sunlight.
