in this recipe, I am using the Weight to Volume method with dry Yarrow making a 20% (1:5 plant to alcohol ratio) tincture with Organic 40%-60% Vodka or Brandy.
- 400 grams Dried ground Yarrow
- 2000 ml Organic 40%-60% Vodka or Brandy
-
Coarsely grind your dried Yarrow in a high-speed blender or food processor and place it in a large glass jar that can be tightly closed.
-
Add your measured alcohol, stir well, making sure all of the plant material is wet. Cap your jar tightly. Label.
-
Shake tincture frequently for 6-8 weeks, then let sit for another day.
-
Decant, press and filter.
-
Pour in an amber bottle with a dropper, cap tightly and label. Always label! Mystery jars are so frustrating!
I use Organic cane or Grape Vodka but grain vodka is also safe.
