Burdock tincture on vodka

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. All parts of the plant can be used to make tinctures, but it is believed that the most useful substances are contained in the root of burdock. It is necessary to dig out the roots in late autumn, from the end of September until frost, at this time the ground part of the plant begins to die off, giving everything useful to the roots.

2. Step 2:

   

   The burdock root is cleaned from the ground, thoroughly washed. Grate the root on a grater, if it is too hard, it can simply be divided into thin fibers or finely chopped with a knife. We put the burdock root in a glass container and pour vodka. It is important to use a quality product purchased from a trusted manufacturer as an alcohol base.

3. Step 3:

   

   We close the container with burdock with a nylon or rubber lid and put it in a dark cool place, ideally we leave it for one month. Every week, the container with the tincture needs to be shaken.

5. Step 4:

   

   Then filter the liquid from the bottle through a strainer and gauze, pour the tincture into a glass bottle.

6. Step 5:

   

   The tincture is ready, it is better to store it in the refrigerator. Burdock tincture turns out to taste very bitter, so some people, if there are no allergies, add a little honey to the tincture. But since burdock tincture is used as a medicine, in moderate doses, it can simply be washed down with water or another sweet drink.
