Elderberry--
1. would it be better to use fresh berries or dry them and then use them
2. if fresh, do I store them in the frig until they are all collected, or go ahead and start them in vodka?
3. should they be crushed or left whole
Echinacea--
1. basically the same questions-fresh or dried
2. what parts are the best to use
3. ground up?
is the basic principle the same for both
1. cover with 2" of vodka in glass jar
2. for 2 weeks
3. shaking each day
4. then strain, and if Echinacea then do it again with more parts in the same liquid
thanks for your help
