  • Fill  your jar half way with dried yarrow or 2/3 of the way with chopped fresh yarrow.
  • Pour the alcohol or apple cider vinegar over the herbs.  Completely fill the jar and seal with a lid.  Shake well.
  • Label and date your jar.
  • Store your jar out of direct sunlight for 4-6 weeks.  Shake your jar often, every day if possible.
  • After 4-6 weeks, strain off the herbs and discard.  Fill a small tincture bottle (with a dropper) for daily use and pour the remainder in a clean dark colored jar.
  • Label and date your bottle and jar.  Store in a cool, dark place where it will keep for several years.

Notes

Apple cider vinegar will cause your metal caps to rust.   If using apple cider vinegar in your tincture,  use either a plastic lid or place a piece of plastic wrap between the jar and the metal lid.
