Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hi Everyone Does anybody have any experience in using a potato ricer for squeezing their herbs for making a tincture? If so, how well does it work? Also, has anyone used those re-closable Grolsch beer bottles for storing their tinctures, as I plan to do? Thanks for any comments.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 Hi Jamie Do you think the french coffee press is neater or easier than a potato ricer for use as a tincture press?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 Hi Skippy! We must be two peas in a pod. LOL Yes, I use a potato ricer to squeeze my herbs, not real impressed... I pressed so hard I bent the handle. And yes, I use the re-closable beer bottles to store the tinctures. I love them! They are perfect. I have some in a cobalt blue and some in the traditional brown or amber color. Happy tincturing, Kim > Hi Everyone> Does anybody have any experience in using a potato ricer for squeezingtheir herbs for making a tincture? If so,> how well does it work?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 Hi Skippy--I use a potato ricer and the reclosable Grolsch bottles too. Also have big gallon jars I use to make Super Tonic in. I have to make a years worth at a time, because my husband stays away all day because of all those awful fumes from the Super tonic ingredients being ground up. I just spend the day crying from it myself, but once its over, everything goes back to normal.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 I personally think the french coffee press is neater and easier than the potato ricer but others in the past have disagreed with me... I will stick to my coffee press! Good Luck making tinctures!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2002 Report Share Posted August 3, 2002 Thanks Kim, Where did you get your Grolsch bottles from? All they have around here are the green ones! Maybe Jamie's idea of a French coffee press is better, that is if I can find one with stainless steel parts. I am glad to have found a tuincturing soul mate on the list! BTW, what exactly is a potato ricer used for, besides tincturing? Thanks, Skippy Los Angeles **K** * wrote: > Hi Skippy! We must be two peas in a pod.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 I am in Apache Junction, Az... A potato ricer is simply for "ricing" potatoes, etc. As in making mashed potatoes. Instead of mashing them or whipping them you squeeze them through the ricer, add milk & butter... mashed potatoes.
