Diane,

For myself, basic rule is 3--4 parts liquid to 1 part powdered herb, or 4 parts liquid to 2 parts cut or whole herb, which equates to 1 or 2 inches of alcohol over dried or fresh and 3-4 over powdered.. this is what i do..

You basically want to cover your herbs by 2-3 inches. Then cover your container and let it sit for at least 2 weeks. Shake it every day. Make your tinctures near the new moon and press on the full moon.
