St. John's Wort Tincture
Description
The drink is prepared quickly and easily. This is exactly the kind of tincture sold in pharmacies. It must not be consumed undiluted, as it may cause burns; therefore, it should be diluted with water beforehand. You can also prepare the tincture using dried St. John's wort, but in this case, fill the jar halfway and pour alcohol to the very top. Store the tincture in a dark bottle, in a dry, dark place for up to two years. The drink is ready to serve.
