Preparation:
  1. Put one third of the shredded leaves, flowers or root pieces in a tall container. Fill it with alcohol until the herbs used in the jar are covered. Close the glass and place it in a suitable place.
  2. Shake the tincture at least once a day.
  3. Between 5 days and 6 weeks your tincture is ready (with an exact indication, the experts are still arguing).
  4. Run the tincture through a filter, throw the herbs or similar. Remove and pour the tincture into small, dark bottles with pipette or dropper.
  5. The extracts are not only suitable for curing complaints, but also for the production of ointments and creams.
