| Homemade Rosemary Tincture |
Ingredients:
1 ounce dried Rosemary
5-7 ounces 100 proof vodka or Everclear
*DO NOT use rubbing alcohol*
Directions:
Add Rosemary to your jar. Cover with Alcohol.
Add enough alcohol to your jar to cover the herbs, plus another inch. I prefer Everclear, especially for fresh herbs. Cover with a lid. Shake every other day.
Label your jar with date and ingredients. Place in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks. Once your tincture is ready, strain through a coffee filter or cheesecloth into a dark (amber) jar. If you do not have a dark jar, leave in a dark place.
Dosage for adults: Take up to 2ml, three times per day.
