Recipe for Alcohol Based Tincture of Propolis

To make a 25% (1:4) alcohol tincture

Materials:

25 grams of propolis

100ml of strong clear grain alcohol (75 proof or higher)

Glass jar with lid

Coffee filter or fine cloth (muslin)

Procedure:

Clean the propolis by removing any obvious contaminant such as pieces of wood or other debris. Place propolis in a clean glass jar.

Add the alcohol and close with a tight-fitting lid. Shake. Leave the propolis soaking for 2-3 weeks in a dark place, shaking it 2-3 times a day.

At the end of this period pace the jar in the refrigerator for a day, and then filter through a coffee filter or a fine cloth (muslin).

Store the liquid in dark-coloured bottle away from direct sunlight. Propolis tincture made this way should last indefinitely.
