Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp rosemary
2 tbsp peppermint
2 tbsp rue
2 tbsp wormwood
2 tbsp sage
2 tbsp lavender
2 quarts apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp fresh garlic, chopped

Directions:

In a sealable glass jar, mix together the first 6 ingredients.
Add the vinegar and steep in the sun for 2 weeks or so, shaking daily.
Then, strain out the used herbs, and retain the herbal liquid mixture.
Add several cloves of crushed garlic, and close lid. Let soak for three days, and strain out the garlic fiber and discard.
This liquid tincture needs to be stored in a cool place, like the refrigerator.
It can be preserved for a very long period of time by canning. To do so, fill canning jars with boiling liquid tincture to within one-half inch of top. Cap with rubber seal canning lid, tighten ring, and turn hot jar upside down; leave it undisturbed until it cools to room temperature. This will cause the jar to seal. Don’t forget to date and label it.
