This easy digestion remedy helps a wide range of issues from nausea, to constipation, and colic.
Servings: 20 ounces
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup dried peppermint leaf
- ¼ cup dried ginger root pieces (or 1/2 cup fresh, finely chopped)
- ¼ cup dried fennel (or chamomile)
- 2 cups 95-proof alcohol (like Everclear)
- 1 cup distilled water
Instructions
- Crush the fennel. Put peppermint, ginger, and fennel (or chamomile) in the glass jar.
- Fill the rest of the jar with alcohol and water. If you don't have enough liquid to cover your herbs fully, add a little more alcohol and water in a 2:1 ratio until you do.
- Cap the jar and keep in a cool dark place for at least two weeks, but up to six. Shake occasionally.
- After 2-6 weeks, strain the herbs out with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Compost the herbs.
- Store your tincture in glass dropper bottles in a cool, dark place.
