Technology for the preparation of tincture from alcohol. How to make a quick vodka tincture

Given the huge variety of recipes, it is very difficult to choose the best recipes for alcohol tincture. Therefore, to begin with, you should decide on what is invested in the concept of "best" tinctures. For some people, the "best" tinctures are exceptional tasting tinctures, regardless of the consequences. For others, these are such, after even an excessive intake of which there is no headache and other "consequences". For the third, the decisive factor is the medicinal properties of the tincture (in this case, of course, their use is not designed for "excessive" intake, and even taste qualities are an insignificant requirement).

1

First of all, it should be noted that none of the alcoholic tinctures will not be good for health if it is used as a "table" drink. The healing properties of alcohol tinctures are manifested when consumed drop by drop (maximum 30-100 g per day and strictly according to the recipe). In large quantities, there can be no talk of any medicinal properties.

"Hangover" properties of tinctures (no headache, dry mouth, etc.) are often very individual and depend on many factors:

• the state of the body at the time of admission;
• snack quality;
• emotional condition;
• the degree of ventilation of the room during sleep;
• individual reaction of the body to the ingredients of the tincture.

In addition, many alcohol-based tinctures are not intended for oral administration at all and are used exclusively externally, for rubbing and compresses.

Alcohol tinctures

Alcohol tends to allow the tincture ingredients to be better absorbed. In addition, alcohol tinctures have a "warming" effect, both when taken orally and when used externally.

Therefore, when applied externally, tincture should not be used unless local heating is required. The "cooling" effect is temporary (associated with the very rapid evaporation of the alcohol solution from the surface of the skin), followed by heating.

With the internal consumption of tinctures, dissolved alcohol allows you to retain additional moisture in the body. Therefore, with already onset edema and kidney disease, the use of alcohol tinctures is not recommended.

It is important to know!

The devastating effect on the brain is one of the most terrible consequences of the effects of alcoholic beverages on a person. Elena Malysheva: ALCOHOLISM CAN BE OVERCOME! Save your loved ones, they are in great danger!

2

Store any alcohol tincture should be in a glass, in a dry, cool, necessarily dark place (you can in the refrigerator). In the light, even at low temperatures, there is a very rapid decay of molecules and the formation of new substances that are not characteristic of tincture. As a rule, the shelf life of alcohol tinctures, unlike decoctions and infusions without the use of alcohol, is very long: 3-4 years (on some resources it is indicated that it is "unlimited", but, as you know, nothing is eternal).

Storage of alcohol tincture in glass

Children under 3 years of age should not be given such tinctures. Not recommended for older children either. It should be very careful to drink tinctures for ulcers and increased acidity of the stomach. Not all, but many alcohol tinctures (usually from berries or greens) have acidic properties.

3

Before you make a tincture of alcohol, you should collect the necessary ingredients and prepare them. The phrase "What difference does it make when to collect them! Roots are roots, and leaves are leaves, even in spring, even in autumn" is absolutely wrong. "Each berry has its own time," they used to say in the old days. And this applies not only to berries. At different times of the year, the chemical composition of leaves, roots and other parts of the plant is different (even if the chemical elements are the same, their percentage ratio is significantly different).

Leaves should be collected just before flowering. When collecting leaves, the petioles are cut off, since there is nothing useful in them. To avoid burns when collecting nettle leaves, you should collect them with gloves. First you need to mow the grass and leave it in the sun for a couple of days. Then the leaves lose their pungency.

Time for harvesting the bark: April-May. The branches from which the bark is taken should be 1-2 years old. The old bark is no good. About moss-covered, etc. and there is no talk. An annular incision is made 1-3 cm at a distance of 20-30 cm from each other. The rings are connected by longitudinal cuts (from 1 to 3). First, the bark should be slightly peeled off and left to dry for 1-2 days. Then remove, dry, grind. Please note that branches (or seedlings) after such an operation are not tenants! You can not "kill" a tree, so only some branches are used, which will then be cut down.

Collection of bark for making tinctures

Time of collection of kidneys: March-April. You should wait for them to swell, but before blooming. Flowers are harvested at the stage of bud formation or at the very beginning of flowering. If the inflorescence is a "basket", then you should wait until the flower opens completely (with the exception of arnica flowers, where the collection is carried out before the flower opens). The flower stalks are removed.

Fruits and seeds are collected early in the morning or late in the evening, in wet weather. Fruits (especially juicy ones) must be dried immediately until they are wrinkled. Roots can be collected in any weather. But the collection period is important: autumn or the end of August (at the end of the vegetative period). For biennials and perennials - autumn of the 2nd or 3rd year.

Drying (roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds) is carried out in a dry, well-ventilated area, where there is no direct sunlight. An attic or even a shed will do. The kidneys should be dried in a cool dry place, also without direct sunlight. The place must be cool, otherwise there is a risk that the buds will bloom.

Some vitamin plants and herbs containing glycosides should be dried quickly at elevated temperatures (50-60º). These are the leaves of henbane, dope, motherwort, lily of the valley, foxglove, blackcurrant berries. Rose hips, wild strawberries, primroses are dried at 70-80 º. Shelf life of raw materials: 1-2 years for above-ground parts, 3-5 years for underground parts.

For each alcohol tincture there is a recipe. Some recipes are indicated in spoons, others in grams. For this, a correspondence table is provided:

• 1 st. l. with a slide - 20 g;
• 1 st. l. without a slide - 15 g;
• 1 tsp - 5 y.

Ingredients for alcohol infusion

If the tincture contains more than one ingredient, then they are crushed separately, and only then mixed. The ingredients poured with an alcohol solution or vodka are infused for 1-3 weeks, then filtered and allowed to stand for another 3-4 days, at a temperature of about +8 º (you can in the refrigerator). It must be remembered: in order for alcohol tincture to be useful, you should take good quality vodka and alcohol.

Homemade liqueurs and tinctures are a great way to use the garden's gifts, berries and fruits, as well as impress guests with unusual tastes of homemade alcohol. What is the difference between tinctures and liqueurs and how to make homemade vodka liqueur? Simple liqueur recipes will help you master the preparation of alcoholic beverages at home.

What is the difference between liqueurs and tinctures? At first glance, the answer to this question is not entirely obvious. Because the essence of making a drink in both cases is the same - to ensure that strong alcohol stretches and absorbs the taste and healing properties of the ingredients added to it.

First, these drinks differ in strength. If the pouring is usually done no higher than 25 degrees, then the tincture is much stronger. This is probably why they shared the glory of a male and female drink among themselves.

Secondly, liqueurs are made from berries and sweet fruits, and always with the addition of sugar. A tincture is a dry alcohol, which is most often based on medicinal herbs and spices. This is due historically: if liqueurs were born immediately as a table decoration, then tinctures were at first a medicine.

If you add a large amount of sugar to both ready-made drinks, then the tincture turns into a balm, and the liqueur turns into liquor. And perhaps most importantly. At the very end of the cooking process, the liqueur, unlike the tincture, must be exposed to the sun - to pour. Hence its name.

homemade tinctures

So, tincture is an alcoholic drink obtained by combining strong alcohol (vodka, moonshine or alcohol) with fragrant medicinal herbs, spices or fruits. The technology of its preparation is quite simple: the selected raw materials are infused until all essential oils and biologically active substances stand out from it and pass into liquid.

Having got down to business, one should not forget that in the union of alcohol and all other components, the last one plays a key role. And the base, which, of course, must be of good quality, is needed only to preserve their taste, color and smell.

The tincture, unlike, perhaps, from the rest of the alcohol, came to our tables from the hands of doctors. It is believed that the method of infusing vodka with medicinal herbs was invented several millennia before our era - most likely in China. True, the ancient Greeks also knew about the unique properties of this potion. But, of course, there was no question of the mass and unrestrained consumption of this product in antiquity. Tinctures were prescribed exclusively by doctors and in very small doses.

In Russia, tinctures became widespread after the 15th century. It is believed that they were already used in the treatment of the afflicted by Sergius of Radonezh, who especially appreciated motherwort infusion for its sedative properties. And Dmitry Donskoy, who was treated by the saint, according to the annals, never went on a military campaign without his miraculous medicine.

For some time, recipes for healing potions were kept in strict confidence and passed from hand to hand by healers.

But soon mere mortals tasted the medicine - and began to prepare it on their own. So bottles with odorous liquids gradually migrated to cupboards and cellars, and the need to “heal” everywhere began to justify the desire to skip a glass or two before dinner.

It was then that the most interesting began. A simple production method and an unlimited field for experimentation gave amazing results. In the houses, containers with liquids of never-before-seen colors multiplied: blue, green, red, orange and purple. Spicy and bitter, tart and fragrant - tinctures now enjoyed almost universal love. Perhaps, young shoots of mountain ash, wormwood and juniper were used more often than others. And without the legendary anise, it seemed that it was completely impossible to sit down to have lunch.

There are many legends around the miraculous strong drink. The most curious of them are associated with the appearance of the famous "Erofeich" tinctures, the recipes of which are still full of Internet sites and cookbooks today. There is a version that the real Erofeich lived in the 18th century and was a barber who spent several years in China as part of the Russian mission. There, the inquisitive barber allegedly learned Eastern medical tricks, and upon returning to his homeland, he cured the seriously ill Count Orlov with ginseng infusion. For which he later received the right to produce and sell his alcoholic beverages, popularly nicknamed "Erofeichs".

In the XVIII-XIX centuries, when oriental spices and spices became available, tinctures sparkled with new colors. Citrus fruits also added raisins to the drink: many still love the infusion on lemon peels. Over time, it became customary to add aromatic liquid to tea and coffee. And the tinctures themselves, which traditionally had a thick and rich taste, began to lose in strength. For example, the so-called fruit drink was now often added to the finished drink, due to which it became sweeter and lighter.

Nowadays, interest in tinctures is returning again. The assortment of a rare distillery does not have two or three varieties of this drink. However, the quality of the tincture from the supermarket can hardly be compared with the one made from good ingredients with one's own hands.

Pouring at home

Unlike tinctures, finding liqueurs on supermarket shelves is much more difficult. There are many types of liquor in mass sale - a late variation on the theme of this drink, which has greater saturation, sweetness and density. But the liqueurs themselves are almost exclusively a home-made product, which became widespread and popular in the 17th century, when it became fashionable to keep the first bars in the houses, demonstrating the host's hospitality.

Homemade liquors are prepared, as a rule, based on berries and fruits, juices and ready-made infusions, often using spices and spices - cinnamon, cloves, cardamom or vanilla as a seasoning. As a basis, you can take any alcohol with a strength of more than 40% - vodka, alcohol or moonshine.

Traditional berries for making liqueurs in central Russia are cherries, currants, plums and mountain ash. Siberia and the Far East are famous for the excellent quality of their branded lingonberry liqueurs. Strawberry drinks have an unforgettable taste and aroma, and cloudberries and cornelian cherry have a bit of exoticism.

The liqueur is prepared in two stages - first, berries or fruits covered with a large amount of sugar give the liquid its taste and aroma. And then the settled and filtered mixture is exposed to the sun, which brings the drink to the desired condition.

The production time for liquor is different in each case - from a couple of weeks to six months. This is largely due to the shelf life of the selected raw materials. For example, perishable strawberries or raspberries are suitable for making early liqueurs. But if you are ready to exercise willpower in anticipation of the finished product, you can choose pears or apples.

Whatever "filler" you like, it is worth remembering that berries and fruits do not need to be cleaned of seeds and skins - they contain tannins and flavoring substances, which are largely responsible for the results of your work.

By analogy with liqueurs, thicker, richer and sweeter drinks are prepared - liqueurs. They are based on alcohol with a strength of more than 50 degrees. Liqueurs tend to have more complex and whimsical flavors. And literally everything is suitable for their manufacture: from bird cherry and rhubarb to blueberries, sea buckthorn, persimmons and tangerines.

Tincture is a strong alcoholic drink based on various berries, fruits, nuts, roots and herbs. Preparing a tincture at home is not at all difficult - you just need a few simple ingredients and a little patience.

Homemade vodka tincture is not only a natural and tasty drink, it is also very healthy, if you know the measure. For therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, vodka tinctures should be taken in 1 tbsp. 2-3 times a day. This will improve blood circulation, normalize blood pressure, relieve stress. Sweet homemade tinctures of berries and fruits can be served to guests after a hearty feast.

The tincture has a pleasant copper color, rich taste and an incredible berry aroma.

You will need(based on 10 liters of tincture) 6 kg of berries, 0.5 kg of sugar, vodka.

Cooking. Rinse the mountain ash, remove the tails, dry a little and pour 2/3 of the volume into jars (or a bottle), sprinkling with sugar. Fill the covered berries with vodka so as to completely cover them. Leave to infuse at room temperature, periodically adding vodka, as the berries absorb the liquid. Infuse the mountain ash for 4 weeks, then drain the resulting liquid into a clean sealed container and fill the berries with a new portion of vodka. Keep it up for another 6 weeks. Then drain the infusion and mix it with the first. Let the drink "rest" for at least a week. The longer the tincture will stand, the tastier it will turn out.

The history of phytotherapy has more than one millennium. The medicinal properties of plants for various diseases were used in the ancient civilizations of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Chinese, etc. However, traditional medicine received a scientific basis only in Ancient Rome. His famous doctors were the first to make a scientific description of the medicinal properties of plants, made recipes for drugs that can be used in the treatment of certain diseases. They were the first to invent such dosage forms as extract and tincture. A great contribution to ancient Greek medicine and pharmacopoeia was made by Claudius Galen, who developed the technology for obtaining these dosage forms, as well as ointments, powders, collections, pills and patches.

Since that time, tinctures have been widely used in official and alternative medicine. They are made from medicinal plants and alcohol and have a number of advantages. The most important thing, perhaps, is that, in comparison with other dosage forms (infusions, decoctions, juices), they are stored longer and during all this time retain all their medicinal properties. In addition, alcohol and vodka are strong solvents and draw out those substances that are not released into the water (for example, essential oils), and the tinctures obtained from them are practically devoid of side effects, have the strongest effect, so they are taken orally in small doses.

This publication contains recipes for alcoholic tinctures from medicinal plants used in the treatment of various diseases, which are quite simple to prepare at home.

1 Preparing tinctures at home

When preparing tinctures at home, there are some rules, following which will preserve the medicinal properties of plants. To do this, first of all, it is necessary to properly collect and dry medicinal raw materials, and only then proceed directly to the preparation of tinctures.

Collection, preparation and drying of raw materials

Preparation of medicinal raw materials (roots, stems, leaves, fruits, bark, buds, flowers) begins at a time when it contains the maximum amount of useful substances. So, for example, above-ground parts of plants are recommended to be collected during the period from the beginning of flowering to fruit ripening, underground parts - at the end of the growing season, when they have accumulated a supply of nutrients.

Plants will only retain their useful properties if they are collected and prepared in accordance with all the rules.

The collection of above-ground parts (stems, leaves, buds, bark, flowers, fruits, seeds) of plants is carried out in good clear weather, since raw materials that are wet from dew or rain are difficult to dry.

The bark is harvested in April-May, during the period of intensive sap flow, when it easily peels off. The maximum amount of active nutrients is contained in the young bark, so it is collected from 1-2-year-old branches or seedlings. Old, cracked, as well as moss- and lichen-covered bark is not suitable for collection, as it is poor in useful substances. On the trunk with a sharp knife, first make ring cuts to the wood at a distance of 20–30 cm from each other, then 1–3 longitudinal cuts between the rings. The bark is slightly peeled off and left for 1-2 days to dry. After that, the bark is collected, dried, crushed.

If harvesting is carried out in forestry, it is first advisable to find out on which trees the bark can be cut. In other cases, it can be collected only from 1-2 branches, so as not to destroy the tree.

The buds are harvested around March-April, after swelling, but before blooming. Large buds can be carefully cut with a sharp knife directly from the branches. If the buds are small, then first cut the branches, dry them slightly, and then thresh them.

The leaves are harvested shortly before the start of the flowering period or during it, except for those species in which the leaves appear only after the end of flowering. The leaves are cut carefully (especially from the stems, so as not to damage the plant) with a sharp knife, thick juicy petioles are removed, which contain practically no useful substances. Nettle leaves can be picked with gloves, or the grass can be cut first and allowed to stand for about 1-2 days, after which the above-ground parts will lose their pungency.

Flowers (corollas and petals) are collected during the budding period or at the beginning of their blooming. Basket inflorescences are harvested at the time when the marginal petals are horizontal, and if they are not, at the time of blooming of the marginal tubular flowers. The exception is arnica, the flowers of which are harvested before the marginal petals take a horizontal position. Pedicels are removed from the collected flowers and folded, without compacting, into prepared baskets.

Grass (leafy and flower-bearing stems and shoots, sometimes together with flowers), herbaceous and semi-shrub plants are harvested at the beginning of flowering, cut with a sharp knife at the level of the lower leaves. In species with woody stems (wormwood, sweet clover, etc.), they are discarded, harvesting only leaves and flowering tops.

Medicinal raw materials have a certain shelf life, then it loses its medicinal properties.

Fruits and seeds are harvested during their full ripening early in the morning or late in the evening in wet weather. Juicy fruits are removed carefully so as not to damage, and immediately sent for drying until they have time to cake. Under no circumstances should spoiled or unripe fruits be used.

Underground parts (roots, rhizomes, rhizomes with unseparated roots, tubers) of plants can be collected in any weather, since they must be washed before drying. Roots are harvested in autumn: for annuals at the end of the growing season, for biennials - in the fall of the second year, for perennials - in the fall of the second or third year. The exception is the two-leaved lyubka, the tubers of which are harvested in July. Underground parts of plants can also be harvested in early spring, before the start of the growth period.

Roots, rhizomes and tubers are carefully removed from the soil with a shovel or fork, shaken off, cleaned of large lumps of dirt and washed in cold running water. The underground parts of plants that contain saponins and mucous substances (male fern, some orchids, burdock, cyanosis, etc.) are not washed, but cleaned with a stiff brush and the upper skin is carefully removed. True, in some cases (if the roots are heavily contaminated), they are still washed, but very quickly, otherwise the raw material may lose saponins, swell and darken.

When harvesting, underground raw materials should be collected so that a certain number of plants remain for resuming plantings.

Collected and cleaned of impurities, rotten and browned parts, the raw materials are crushed, seeds, buds and fruits are sifted to remove dust and litter. Then it is placed in an even thin layer on the prepared trays and dried in a darkened and well-ventilated room (in the attic or under a canopy). Do not dry in direct sunlight, especially flowers, grass, leaves and rhizomes.

The kidneys are placed in a thin layer on trays and periodically mixed during drying. Dry outdoors under a canopy or in a cool, well-ventilated area, as they may begin to bloom in a warm place.

The bark is placed in a single layer on a tray and dried in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Properly dried bark becomes brittle.

The leaves are placed on a tray in 2-3 layers and dried in a well-ventilated area, periodically turning over. Properly and completely dried grass becomes brittle. After that, it is left in the fresh air for a few more days so that it absorbs moisture from the air and does not crumble during packaging.

Depending on the main components, alcoholic tinctures of medicinal herbs can be stored for up to 3-4 years or more.

Flowers are placed on the tray in a thin layer so as not to turn over; complex inflorescences-baskets should be stirred from time to time for uniform drying.

Roots, rhizomes and tubers are dried in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Large and thick underground parts of plants are pre-cut lengthwise into several parts, and long ones also crosswise so that they dry faster. Properly dried roots become brittle.

Plants rich in essential oils (mint, lemon balm, jasmine, oregano, thyme, etc.) are placed on a tray in a thick layer and dried slowly at a temperature of 25–30 ° C, due to which the concentration of essential oil in them increases.

It is necessary to quickly dry plants containing glycosides and alkaloids (leaves of foxglove, dope, henbane, centaury, lily of the valley, motherwort, etc.) and vitamin-containing species (rose hips, strawberries, primrose leaves, etc.), since these substances quickly evaporate and are destroyed . The former are dried at a temperature of 50–60 °C, the latter at 70–90 °C, and if essential oils (black currant fruits) are contained together with vitamins, at 50–60 °C.

Ready raw materials are packed in paper or cardboard bags, but it is best to use glass or metal containers with a tight-fitting lid. Store raw materials in a well-ventilated dark, dry and clean room. It is impossible to store strong-smelling substances (kerosene, naphthalene, etc.) in this room, since raw materials easily absorb foreign odors.

It should be remembered that poisonous medicinal plants should be harvested with special gloves, not put to dry along with other plants.

Poisonous and odorous plants are stored separately from the rest.

The shelf life of raw materials is different: on average, flowers, leaves and grass are stored for no more than 1-2 years, the underground parts of the plant - 3-5 years, the spores of the club moss have an unlimited shelf life.

Preparation of tinctures

To prepare the tincture, medicinal raw materials and 40–70% ethyl alcohol or vodka are used. Raw materials are pre-crushed so that useful substances are completely extracted. If several plants are used to prepare the tincture, then each is crushed separately, and only then mixed in the desired proportion. The infusion is best prepared in glassware (bottle, bottle, jar, etc.) with a tightly closed stopper.

A teaspoon contains approximately 5 g of dry crushed raw materials, a dessert spoon contains 10 g, a dining room without a top - 15 g, and a dining room with a top - 20 g.

A mixture of crushed medicinal raw materials is poured with 70% ethyl alcohol or vodka in a ratio of 1: 5 or 1: 10. Infuse at room temperature for 7-10 days, periodically shaking the bottle.

The finished tincture is left for another 3-4 days at a temperature not exceeding 8 ° C, then filtered through several layers of gauze or cotton fabric.

Properly prepared tincture should be transparent, have the smell and taste of the plant from which it was prepared. Store tinctures in glassware, preferably dark glass, in a cool, dark place for several years.
