If you have a tea ball infuser You can add 2 teaspoons of herbs into the mesh, add it to your steeping water for 25 to 45 minutes then enjoy.

enjoy tea with agave as a sweetener.

HOW TO “DO IT YOURSELF”


Infusions (Herbal Teas)

Herbal infusions are essentially herbal teas, also known as tisanes. You can make

herbal tea yourself by simply infusing the aerial parts of herbs (including the

flowers, stems, and leaves) in water.

• If using dried herbs: use 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb for each cup (16 ounces). 

Steep the herbs for 10 minutes in water

that has just been boiled. Then strain the infusion.

• If using fresh herbs: use 3 teaspoons of the fresh plant parts per each pint of

water. Make the same way as above, and strain.

• You can make the concoction in cup-sized doses or larger teapot doses. If

using for medicinal value, the infusion should be consumed in 8-12 ounce doses,

three times a day.

• For storage: cover mixture, store in a cool place, and use within 24 hours.


Decoctions

A decoction is also similar to an infusion, and necessary when using tougher plant

material like herbal roots, barks, seeds, berries, and stems. These parts need to have

their active components extracted in a more intense process.

• Chop up the plant material thinly. Use 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herbs for 1

½ pints of water.

• Place the herbs in a saucepan with the water, and boil the decoction.

• Simmer the mixture until the volume of the liquid has been reduced by about

a third. This will take about 15 minutes.

• Strain the mixture.

• The decoction should be used in three wine-glass-sized doses throughout the

day. It should be stored in a pitcher in a cool place.

• The decoction can be reheated and flavored with a little honey if desired.


Tinctures

A tincture is a liquid herbal preparation in which the active ingredient of an herb is

extracted with alcohol. Tinctures can be prepared in large volumes and stored for a

long time, available at hand to be used in quick preparations of infusions, creams,

and other herbal recipes.

Vodka is a good choice to use since it is more tasteless than most other

alcohol. A standard herbal tincture should have 1 fluid ounce of pure alcohol

for every 3 ounces of water; essentially 25% alcohol.

• You can prepare a tincture using either dried or fresh herbs, but be sure to

cut the herbs into small pieces first.

• If using dried herbs: put 8 ounces of the dried herb into a large, glass jar and

pour in 1 ½ pints of the liquid mixture. If using powder, 1 oz. of powder to 5

oz. of liquid mixture – a 1:5 ratio.

• If using fresh herbs: you will need three times as much of the herb. Use 1 1/2

pounds of the herb for 1 1/2 pints of the liquid mixture. Put herbs and

mixture in a large, glass jar.

• Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks. Make sure to shake

the mixture every day.

• Filter the mixture through a wine press, cheesecloth bag, coffee filter, or fine

cloth, capturing the tincture liquid below in another container.

• Store the tincture in clean, dark glass containers, out of the sun. If stored

properly the tincture will be preserved for two or more years.


Syrups

You can make an herbal infusion, decoction, or tincture into a syrup, using sugar or

honey as a preservative. Herbal syrups are soothing for coughs, sore throats, and

other common respiratory ailments.

• First make an infusion, decoction, or tincture according to the above

directions, and strain.

• For each pint of liquid add one pound of unrefined sugar or honey.

• Stir mixture together in a saucepan and boil until the sugar or honey has

dissolved completely. The mixture has become syrup at this point.

• Let the syrup cool.

• Store the syrup in dark, glass bottles capped with a cork or another

nonsealing lid. It is important that the syrup is not kept in a tightly sealed

container because as the syrup begins to ferment it may cause the bottle to

explode.

• Store in the refrigerator.


Tonic Wines

Like herbal tea, a glass of tonic wine is a delicious way to intake herbal remedies.

Using root remedies of tonic herbs like ginger or licorice can be a refreshing remedy

for ailments. Choose a tonic herb to suit your needs and then begin preparation.

• Fill a large glass pot, jar, or vat with your chosen tonic herb.

• Pour in a good quality red wine, covering the herbs.

• Leave the mix for at least 2 weeks.

• Filtering out the liquid, drink the mixture in one sherry-sized glass (2-3 fluid

ounces) dose per day.

• As you pour out the liquid, keep adding more red wine to cover the herb so it

doesn't get moldy.

• This mixture will last you for several months, as the wine continues to extract

the active components of the herbal roots, before the herbs will need to be

replaced.

Infused Oils

You can make multi-purpose herbal oils that can be used for cooking or massaging

into sore body parts. Herbal oils can be prepared through either cold or hot

infusion. You can select any kind of vegetable oil to extract the active constituents

from the herbs, the best being olive, canola, sesame, and almond oils.


Herb Oil Recipe

5 sprigs of fresh rosemary (substitute thyme, tarragon, oregano).

3 bay leaves

2 cups extra-virgin Greek Olive Oil.

Place rosemary and bay leaves in a sterilized jar or bottle with

tight fitting lid. Add olive oil and seal. Store oil in a cool, dark

place for a few weeks until ready to use. Enjoy!!


Cold Oil Infusion

• Obtain a large jar with a tightly sealing lid, and fill it compactly with herb

flowers or leaves.

• Pour in the oil, covering the herbs, and screw on the lid.

• Place jar on a sunny window sill for about a month. Remember to shake the

mixture daily.

• Strain the mixture, capturing the oil in another container.

• Transfer the oil into a dark bottle, and store in a cool, dark place.


Hot Oil Infusion

• For dried herbs: for each 2 cups of oil use 1 cup of dried herbs.

• For fresh herbs: for each 2 cups of oil use 2 cups of fresh herbs.

• Prepare a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Place the herbs and oil

in the glass bowl.

• Heat mixture slowly over low heat for about 3 hours.

• Strain into a bowl. Let the oil cool, then transfer into dark, glass bottles

sealed with a cap. Store in a cool, dark place.


Creams

You can make herbal skin cream with a simple recipe, combining herbs of your

choice with an emulsifying cream.

• Melt about 2 tablespoons of emulsifying cream in a bowl placed over a pot of

boiling water.

• Add one large tablespoon of dried herbs to the mixture. Stir slowly until you

see the cream taking on the color of the herbs.

• Remove the mixture from heat and strain. Squeeze out the remaining liquid

from the clump.

• Allow the cream to cool in a glass bowl.

• Spoon the cream into small, dark bottles, and store in a cool, dark place.

Cream will be preserved for use for up to one year.


Salves and Ointments

Choose herbs with healing, soothing properties to prepare your own salves and

ointments to apply to sore skin and wounds. Simply combine an infused oil with

chosen herbs and beeswax.

• Pour 3-4 fluid ounces of an infused oil into a glass bowl, and place over a pot

of boiling water.

• Add a small, square piece of beeswax to the infused oil, stirring constantly

until the wax has completely melted. The beeswax will thicken the mixture,

giving it just the right consistency.

• Pour the warm liquid into small, dark ointment jars.

• Store in a cool, dark place.
