Sage Tincture for Sore Throats
There are a lot of scratchy, sore throats around at the moment that end up developing into coughs and colds. This sage tincture can nip those first symptoms in the bud. It takes a month to brew but would be well worth having in the cupboard for times of need.
Ingredients:
1 small glass jar
Sage dried or fresh
Alcohol such as vodka or brandy
Instructions:
Pack the jar with sage and fill with the alcohol to the top. Seal with an airtight lid. Shake then store in a cool dark place for at least a month. Shake daily. After a month, strain and pour into a spray bottle. Use as needed for sore throats and congestion.
