Homemade Rosemary Tincture Recipe

Just this morning I added 2 more
 DIY Tincture Kits at Mary's Basics: Organic Rosemary and Organic "Flashes" (self-explanatory)

This week I shared the Health benefits of Rosemary and now I'll share my Rosemary Tincture recipe.  It's very simple to make your own herbal remedies.  If this is your first time, Please read "What is a Tincture?" Explained.  It's SO easy!!!

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.
