Place the herb in a large glass jar with a secure lid and pour 2/3 cup ( 160 ml) vodka over it, ensuring that the herb is completely submerged. Stand the bottle in a warm place for 10 to 14 days, shaking it once or twice a day.

2. Strain the mixture through a piece of fine muslin. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from he remaining pulp.


3. Pour the tincture into a dark glass bottle. Seal and label with the name of the herb and the date you prepared the tincture. Makes about 3/4 cup (200 ml).
