medicinal wine

[Guest guest]

some time ago, rodleblanc passed on his wonderful recipe for tincturing

both a men's and a wonmen's formula for immunity. Although I haven't done

the extraction yet, it remains a project for me, which I will age the

herbs in an at least 50% proof wine for a couple months at least -

standard method for extraction.

However, I have decocted a formula that the source states should be taken

as a medicinal wine AFTER describing that the formula should be decocted

first. Its a post-surgery tonic. Can anyone advise me about the method

inferred? How much wine should be added to a formula that has already

been decocted and makes no reference to aging?

Greetings Pamela

 

Thanks for mentioning the formula passed on and I wish you success. I do

only use a 35% proof solution of rice wine and find that 4 months mellows

the extract. The tonics are kidney tonics best taken in winter. It would

appear to be that the decocted formula you are going to use would only

require a slight amount of alcohol to act as a carrier especially with post

surgery. I would start with less than 10% of volume and I can't see how

aging would affect the already extracted formula. But then again I am not as

familiar using this method as others might be.
