Are these good recipes?

[Guest guest]

Humble pardons if this is any of this list members recipe, but I just received these recipes from a friend who got it off another list.......you get the picture.... Are these real recipes and are they good? I've never heard of Jungle Juice. Seems like it would be better in vodka or ?something like that. Opinions or changes that would enhance the recipes(I have no clue what they are for) I've never made a tincture, but would rather learn to make it in real good alcohol. Coaching welcome.

"Jungle Juice" (For Him)

 

2 C Alfalfa

2 C Bilberry

1 C Butchers Broom

2 C Ginko Leaf

1 C Nettle

1/2 C Palmetto Berries

2 C Ginseng

1/2 C Tumeric

1t. Cayenne

1/2 C Ground Hawthorn Berries (Optional) We use it for high blood pressure.

1 C St. John's Wort (optional) We use for anxiety.

 

Grind or break herbs in a blender. Mix dry herbs together, place in a jar, seal, label, and then store. These dry, mixed herbs an be made into a tincture as needed. For making 3 cups finished, liquid, herbal tincture, fill a quart jar 1/3 full w/ dry herb mixture. Pour boiling water over herb mixture until it is all wet (about a 1/2 cup). Fill jar to within 1 inch of the top with food grade glycerin. Stir the thick goo until mixed, then cap with a tight lid. Place a small kitchen towel in the bottom of a slow cooker, so as to protect the jar from direct heat, then fill pot with water. Put the sealed jar on the lowest heat for three days. It should not boil, but be hot to touch. Stir the hot herb goo everyday. Do not let the crock get to low on water. After three days strain the hot herb mixture (I use a t-shirt) from the now dark, warm glycerin (be careful it's hot!). Throw the used herbs away, and store the liquid (now tincture) in a tightly capped bottle. Be sure to label. Keep in a dark, cool place.

2 C Nettle

2 C Ginseng

1/2 C Tumeric

1 t. Cayenne

1 C Red Raspberry Leaf

2 C Oat Straw

1 C St. John's Wort (optional) we use for anxiety.

 

We take 1 Tablespoon 2X daily.
