Cranberry Tincture

Print Recipe

Equipment

  • Mason Jar

Ingredients

  • 1 bag fresh organic cranberries
  • 100 proof vodka

Instructions

  • First rinse the cranberries and pick out any mushy ones and discard.
  • Rough chop or place in a food processor for a few pulses to chop.
  • Place cranberries in a large, clean glass jar and pour the alcohol ensuring that the berries covered.
  • Close and label your jar with the name of the herb, solvent, and the date.
  • Shake the jar for 1-2 minutes.
  • Store in a cool dark place for at least 10-14 days (or longer), shaking the jar every 1-2 days.
  • After 14 days you are ready to strain out the herbs. Pour the jar through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth. (There are some new fancy tools for this I have found like this herb press that helps make it less messy and extracts every last drop).
  • Squeeze out the herb to get all remaining liquid.
  • Discard or compost your cranberries (or you can use them in other recipes)
  • Pour your finished tincture into a clean dark class bottle using a funnel.
  • Close and label your jar with the name and date of your tincture.
