Goldenrod Tincture

Goldenrod tincture is used much like goldenrod tea, except the more concentrated form can be taken in a smaller dose. Instead of a mug or cup of tea, you can  dose and take 2mls to 3mls 3 to 4 times daily while treating cold, flu, digestive, urinary or kidney issues.

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup fresh goldenrod
  • 400 mls vodka or other clear 80+ proof alcohol
  • 1 500 ml mason jar

Instructions 

  • In a 500ml mason jar, place approximately 1 cup of fresh goldenrod flower and leaves.
  • Fill the jar with vodka, or another eighty (80) proof clear alcohol.
  • Stir your mixture to release any bubbles. Cover the mason jar and place in a cool, dark and dry area. Your root cellar or cold storage is a great place for this.
  • This tincture must sit for at least six (6) weeks before straining the leaves and flowers out through a cheesecloth or coffee filter.
  • After at least six weeks, strain this tincture into a dark amber bottle or blacked out mason jar through a cheesecloth or coffee filter. Cover the mason jar and store in a cool, dark place. This tincture will last almost a lifetime.
