Step 1: Find the plants or herbs you’d like to use. Make sure to take only parts of the plant that are safe for usage.

Step 2: Fill-up the two-third of the jar with chopped fresh leaves, halfway with dried leaves, tree bark, berries, or roots and repeat the rest one-fourth with the mixture of all ingredients.

Step 3: Pour grain alcohol, 40 to 70 percent over the herbs, covering them completely till the top.

Step 4: Add 4 to 6 drops of OS Flavors based on total mixture and cover the jar with parchment paper and then screw on a metal lid.

Step 5: Let the tincture sit for at least 6 to 8 weeks

Step 6: Place the cheesecloth over a funnel onto another jar and pour the mixture through. The strained liquid is the final mixture. Store it in a cool and dark place to hold on to it for years.
