Homemade Chamomile Tincture
This quick and easy chamomile tincture is perfect to have on hand for both little ones and adults.
Servings: 28 ounces (approx)
Ingredients
- 1 cup chamomile flowers
- 3-4 cups vodka or rum at least 80 proof
Instructions
- Pack the chamomile flowers into a clean quart-size glass jar. If preferred, you can run the entire mixture (alcohol and chamomile) through the blender first. This increases the surface area of the herb for better extraction.
- Fill the rest of the jar with vodka or rum (do not use rubbing alcohol or non-consumable alcohol!) and tightly cover with an airtight lid. If using fresh chamomile instead of dried, then use 190 proof alcohol.
- Store in a cool, dark place and shake daily for 2-4 weeks. This will make a strong tincture! Add more alcohol if necessary to make sure the chamomile stays covered during this process.
- After 2-4 weeks, remove from the cabinet, and pour through a cheesecloth or strainer. Store in a jar or in dropper bottles for easy use.
Notes
Storage: Store your chamomile tincture in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat.
