You fill a jar with herbs of your choosing, cover them with your choice of alcohol (vodka or rum works), put a tight cap on it, store it in a dark cabinet, shake it up once in a while. Low and behold, a month later you will have a fine elixir awaiting your palette. Strain the herbs and keep close by for when you need some healing.
The better the alcohol, the better the final product (obviously).
Mix it up with a few complimentary herbs or keep it simple with just one.
KNOW YOUR STUFF: Be sure you do your research about the herbs you choose before brewing your tincture(s) as to be aware of the recommended dose(s) and side effects of what you're working with. Herbs are powerful! Treat them as such. (I must remind myself, too!!)
A tincture is to be respected, savored and enjoyed consciously.
Lemongrass
