Vegetable glycerin.

Add plant material.

Let sit in cool dark place for 120 days.

Enjoy.

I have some experience making tinctures. I'll be making some dandelion tincture in the next week or so :) I will use 80 proof vodka and fresh plant material.

Are you using one part in particular or whole plant? What amount of time does sit, room temp?

I am using leaves and roots. I will mince the roots to expose more of the tough material to alcohol. Room temp, 6-8 weeks (longer won't hurt anything).

Last one, for now. How do you store it?

Glass jars, dark cupboard. Decant into dark bottles with droppers as needed.

I gotcha. My daughter just picked up a backyard medicine book at the farm store while getting feed. She opened it to the dandelion section and started reading.

Note that we bought the book! 😂 I figure if that’s what my little one wants to read, you get it for her.

I have only made it with vodka. I have some elderberry going right now. Filled a quart jar using amber or put a sock over it and keep

In a dark placd. Shake every few days and strain in 8 week. Have only done a few but love my wild lettuce on too. Pretty much did the same thing.

Wild lettuce? This excites me, what is it?

It is for pain relief but tastes like swamp 😂
