bidens alba (pilosa) tincture

 I'm about to slash a big section of yard covered in bidens alba, so I want to use some of it first so I'm making this tincture.  I read/watched a lot and this is what I'm coming up with:

- harvest bidens flowers, leaves, roots if desired.  Clean if necessary

- mash with/roll in hands (or use mortar and pestle for some muddling).  

- fill a clean jar with plant material

- fill it with alcohol of high proof; recommended 80-90% alcohol for bidens tincturing 

- let it sit in a dark place 6-8 weeks, shaking daily

- strain into amber or blue smaller bottles for storage up to several years 

 

And now I need to go find some everclear!
