Question
How does Natasha Najjar create her signature Ayurvedic tinctures using kitchen witchery techniques?
Answer
Creating an Ayurvedic tincture using kitchen witchery techniques is a simple and rewarding process. Here's a brief overview based on the information I've shared in the past:
-
Choose Your Herb: The first step is to choose the herb you want to use for your tincture. Fresh herbs are ideal as they release oils more effectively, but dried herbs like rosemary can also be used if fresh ones aren't available.
-
Prepare Your Herb: If you're using fresh herbs, you'll want to press and squish them to release the oils. If you're using dried herbs, you can simply add them to your container.
-
Add Your Liquid: The next step is to add your liquid of choice. I prefer to use Tito's alcohol or Bragg's apple cider vinegar. Fill the liquid over the herbs in your container.
-
Let It Sit: Once your herbs and liquid are combined, let the mixture sit. This allows the herbs to infuse into the liquid, creating your tincture.
Remember, I'm still learning about tinctures myself, so I'll be sure to share more tips and tricks as I discover them.
