Ginger Tincture
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup fresh ginger root
- 2 cups high-proof alcohol (e.g., vodka or grain alcohol)
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash and peel the fresh ginger root, then chop it into small pieces. Place the ginger in a glass jar and pour the alcohol over it. Seal the jar tightly and gently shake to combine. Store in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks, shaking occasionally. Once the steeping period is over, strain the tincture, squeezing the ginger to extract all the liquid. Transfer the tincture to a dark glass dropper bottle, label it, and store in a cool place.
