Tinctures
To make a simple Echinacea tincture using the folk method, simply dig the root, (you’ll need to let the plant mature for 3 years for this one) clean the dirt off, cut or slice it into a mason jar and cover with 100 proof vodka. Shake every day if possible and after 4 weeks strain into another container. The remaining liquid is your tincture. Put the herbs back to the Earth when finished straining. Simple, effective and potent to the highest possible degree.
