Glycerites

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am new to this group and also new at preserving herbs.

 

I have found one recipe on the internet that used 1 ounce of powdered,

dried or fresh herbs to 6 ounces of glycerin and 4 ounces of water.

It said to leave it for two weeks shaking every day and to strain and

put in glass after it is finished. I made it, however, it is not

ready yet. For those of you that are experienced at doing this, does

this sound right? I really do not want to do alcohol or vinegar at

the moment and don't mind the sweet taste of glycerin. Also, it said

it would last at least a year and I would use it up before then.

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Sharon
