Question
What is the definitive guide to making tinctures according to Natasha Najjar?
Answer
Based on the content I have from Natasha Najjar, here's a simple guide to making tinctures:
-
Choose Your Herbs: You can scavenge fresh herbs and weeds outside, or purchase them from a local herbal shop or online. Research whether the leaves or roots of the herb are best for your needs.
-
Prepare Your Herbs: If you're using dried herbs, you just need to fill the liquid of your choice on the herbs. If you're using fresh herbs, you might need to muddle them to help release the oils.
-
Choose Your Liquid: Natasha prefers to use Tito’s alcohol or Bragg’s apple cider vinegar.
-
Let It Steep: The steeping process allows the herbs to infuse into the liquid. The duration can vary depending on the herbs and liquid used.
Remember, Natasha is still learning about tinctures herself and plans to share more knowledge as she learns.
Would you like to know about any specific herbs or the steeping process in more detail?
