As I have stated previously, dandelion is an excellent diuretic. By making a tincture, you can also have access to all the vitamins it contains: A, B, C and D. It also contains potassium, zinc, iron, phosphorus, zinc, protein and inulin. Take daily to promote good health, good digestion, and a clean liver and gallbladder!
First, gather fresh bundles of leaves and separate the good leaves from the bad ones (the funky ones with the brown/black spots and the ones that insects munched on). Then, either brush off or rinse off the dirt from the leaves. Chop the leaves (I rinsed mine again because more dirt showed up) and measure. Then, place into a clean glass jar.
Use a vodka that as a 30-45% alcohol content. Add the vodka at a 2:1 ratio-2 cups of vodka to 1 cup of fresh leaves. If using dried leaves, use a 5:1 ratio-5 cups of vodka to 1 cup of dried leaves (this is because dried herbs contain a higher concentrate rather than fresh).
Let sit in a dark place for 2-12 weeks. Check every so often to make sure the leaves are submerged in the alcohol. When ready, strain and pour into containers with droppers. Use 30-60 daily/when needed.
