Arubi. I finally made a glycerine tincture. I needed a calcium tincture so I used 2 parts chamomile, two parts nettle, one part oatstraw, one part shavegrass and one part red clover.
I infused the mix in alcohol for 6 weeks. I ended up with 4 cups of alcohol liquid. I added one cup glycerine as that is all I had. I made a double boiler out of a 4 quart sauce pan and put in a collinder pan and set a 4 cup glass measuring cup of the tincture in the top pan. I put the electric stove on level 3 and cooked for 2 hours reducing the mix to 2 cups. That is not only changing the alcohol to a glycerine tincture but reducing the liquid to make what is called an extract. Oh. Man. It tastes so good.
You can also do this with elderberrys and use as a tincture.
In Ayurveda class we made herbal wine. We purchased an organic wine. Then we added herbs and spices to infuse for 4 weeks. You can do this with elderberrys too. At the end of 4 weeks, we strained out the herbs and saved the wine in the fridge. I made a digestive mix as Im always working with my digestion.
