Measure the herbs and place them in a glass pint jar. Fill the jar to the top with the vodka.

Secure the lid and shake to distribute the herbs. Label the jar with the formula name and date and place it in a cool, dark place to infuse. Check the alcohol level after the first day or two and top up as needed.

Let the tincture infuse for 4-8 weeks, shaking every day or so to redistribute the herb.

Once the tincture is done infusing, strain out the herbs using a fine mesh strainer lined with several layers of cheesecloth. Straining the tincture into a large glass measuring cup makes it easier to transfer the tincture into dropper bottles. Make sure to squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible when strainingso you don’t leave any herbal goodness behind.

Transfer the tincture into clean amber glass bottles. The amber glass helps to protect the tincture from light but any glass bottle or jar with a tight lid will do. One-ounce bottles with droppers are great for carrying with you and giving away to family and friends.
