i can get my hands on some lose dried herbs like burdock, phragmites, wormwood, goji etc and i wanted to try making some tincture with it, is it easy as it says below? just put in glass jar and cover with 50% vodka for 4 weeks in a dark place???
"You'll need:
* 8 ounces of dried herbs, be sure to cut the herbs into small pieces first.
* a large glass jar that can hold 4 cups of liquid (adjust liquid amount to fit in jar if necessary)
* 2 cups of vodka
Instructions:
Put the dried herb into a large, glass jar and pour in equal amount of liquid, making sure the herbs are completely covered (this is very important). Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks, preferably 4. Make sure to shake the mixture every day. When ready to use, filter the mixture using a cheesecloth bag, coffee filter, or fine cloth, capturing the tincture liquid below in another container. Store the tincture in clean, dark glass containers, out of the sun. If stored properly the tincture will be preserved for two or more years. Vinegar tinctures should be refrigerated.
Note: A drop of tincture is equal to 1 tsp of herb juice.
thanks
