Our tinctures are made in what is called the Folk Method. I collect fresh herbs whenever possible as I think they make for a better quality tincture. These are either grown by myself in my chemical free yard, or sustainably wildcrafted. with some herbs that aren't native or hard to find I get dried from reputable sources. I use vodka in most tinctures occasionally brandy. As I was taught I let macerate for a full year before decanting. I use a 1:5 ratio.
