Syrups are a good way to go when you're using herbs that are not pallatable as a tea and you don't have time to wait for a tincture. ~ Add 2 ounces of herbs of your choice to 1 quart of cold water. ~Simmer mixture over low heat until it is reduced down to 1 pint of liquid. At this point you will have a dark, thick tea. ~Strain out the herbs and return the liquid to the pot. ~Add 1 1/4 cup honey, maple syrup, or vegetable glycerine and warm them together just until blended. ~Pour into bottles, cap tightly, and label each bottle. Keep refrigerated. Suzi What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. http://suziesgoats.wholefoodfarmacy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
