DIY Herbal Throat Spray Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP echinacea root
- 1 TBSP ginger root
- 1 TBSP marshmallow root
- 1 TBSP elderberry
- 1 TBSP thyme
- 1 TBSP peppermint leaf
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper optional
- 80-proof alcohol (vodka or rum)
- raw honey
Instructions
- Add the herbs to a pint-size Mason jar.
- Pour alcohol over the herbs, leaving a ½ inch headspace.
- Cap tightly with the lid and let the tincture steep for 2-4 weeks, shaking occasionally.
- Once the tincture is done, strain out the herbs and reserve the liquid.
- For every 6 Tablespoons of tincture add 2 Tablespoons of raw honey.
- Shake well to combine and store in the fridge for up to 6 months.
- I pour some into a small spray bottle for easy use as needed.
Notes
You don't have to use every single herb on the list. If you want/need to omit some of the herbs, just replace them with more of the others.
