HOW TO DO IT YOURSELFInfusions (Herbal Teas)Herbal infusions are essentially herbal teas, also known as tisanes. You can make herbal tea yourself by simply infusing the aerial parts of herbs (including the flowers, stems, and leaves) in water.

If using dried herbs: use 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb for each cup (8 ounces) of water, or 1 ounce per each pint. Steep the herbs for 10 minutes in water that has just been boiled. Then strain the infusion.

If using fresh herbs: use 3 teaspoons of the fresh plant parts per each pint of water. Make the same way as above, and strain.

You can make the concoction in cup-sized doses or larger teapot doses. If using for medicinal value, the infusion should be consumed in 8-ounce doses, three times a day.

For storage: cover mixture, store in a cool place, and use within 24 hours.

Some wonderful combinations are listed below.

Anise, Marjoram, Lemon Verbena

Angelica, Clove, Orange Peel, Nutmeg

Elderberry, Lemon Balm, Spearmint

Anise, Chamomile

Lemon Verbena, Borage

Ginger, Chamomile

Lemongrass

Lemongrass, Rosemary, Thyme

Chamomile, Horehound

Chicory, Ginseng, Cinnamon

Chamomile, Valerian

Basil, Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena

Ginger, Pennyroyal, Peppermint

Chamomile, Peppermint

Cayenne, Ginger (spicy)DecoctionsA decoction is also similar to an infusion, and necessary when using tougher plant material like herbal roots, barks, seeds, berries, and stems. These parts need to have their active components extracted in a more intense process.

Chop up the plant material thinly. Use 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herbs for 1 pints of water.

Place the herbs in a saucepan with the water, and boil the decoction.

Simmer the mixture until the volume of the liquid has been reduced by about a third. This will take about 15 minutes.

Strain the mixture.

The decoction should be used in three wine-glass-sized doses throughout the day. It should be stored in a pitcher in a cool place.

The decoction can be reheated and flavored with a little honey if desired. TincturesA tincture is a liquid herbal preparation in which the active ingredient of an herb is extracted with alcohol. Tinctures can be prepared in large volumes and stored for a long time, available at hand to be used in quick preparations of infusions, creams, and other herbal recipes.

Vodka is a good choice to use since it is more tasteless than most other alcohol. A standard herbal tincture should have 1 fluid ounce of pure alcohol for every 3 ounces of water; essentially 25% alcohol.

You can prepare a tincture using either dried or fresh herbs, but be sure to cut the herbs into small pieces first.

If using dried herbs: put 8 ounces of the dried herb into a large, glass jar and pour in 1 pints of the liquid mixture. If using powder, 1 oz. of powder to 5 oz. of liquid mixture a 1:5 ratio.

If using fresh herbs: you will need three times as much of the herb. Use 1 1/2 pounds of the herb for 1 1/2 pints of the liquid mixture. Put herbs and mixture in a large, glass jar.

Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks. Make sure to shake the mixture every day.

Filter the mixture through a wine press, cheesecloth bag, coffee filter, or fine cloth, capturing the tincture liquid below in another container.

Store the tincture in clean, dark glass containers, out of the sun. If stored properly the tincture will be preserved for two or more years. SyrupsYou can make an herbal infusion, decoction, or tincture into a syrup, using sugar or honey as a preservative. Herbal syrups are soothing for coughs, sore throats, and other common respiratory ailments.

First make an infusion, decoction, or tincture according to the above directions, and strain.

For each pint of liquid add one pound of unrefined sugar or honey.

Stir mixture together in a saucepan and boil until the sugar or honey has dissolved completely. The mixture has become syrup at this point.

Let the syrup cool.

Store the syrup in dark, glass bottles capped with a cork or another non-sealing lid. It is important that the syrup is not kept in a tightly sealed container because as the syrup begins to ferment it may cause the bottle to explode.

Store in the refrigerator. Tonic WinesLike herbal tea, a glass of tonic wine is a delicious way to intake herbal remedies. Using root remedies of tonic herbs like ginger or licorice can be a refreshing remedy for ailments. Choose a tonic herb to suit your needs and then begin preparation.

Fill a large glass pot, jar, or vat with your chosen tonic herb.

Pour in a good quality red wine, covering the herbs.

Leave the mix for at least 2 weeks.

EQUIPMENT:

Plastic or glass bottles [8 ounces]

Glass jar [12 ounces or more] OR glass bowl

Tea kettle or saucepan [non-aluminum]

Strainer [stainless steel or bamboo]

Distilled or spring water

Spoon

RECIPE:

Select two or three herbs for your hair type. When purchasing herbs, you don't need to get them powdered, just cut.All herbs used for these recipes are dried.

For people who have blonde hair and want to keep it that way, stay with lighter colored herbs. Many herbs are used as colorants so consult with professional herbal practitioners.

The shampoo you make will not be a visually pleasing bright blue or lime green, but it will smell better and most important of all, it will only enhance the health of your hair.

INGREDIENTS:

7 ounces distilled or spring water

4 Tablespoons liquid castile soap [1 oz.]

5- 6 Tablespoons of herbs [choose at least 2 for your hair type]

Note:If using whole flowers such as marigold or red clover, it's a good idea to crush them first.While lavender flowers are small, crushing them invokes even more of their aroma.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Boil water.

Put herbs in strainer.

Add the liquid castile soap to the bottle that you'll be using for the finished shampoo.

Pour boiling water over the herbs, squeezing the last bits with the back of a spoon. Cover the container and allow the herbs to steep for 10-30 minutes, depending upon how strong you want the mixture. Make sure none of the leaves have fallen into the herbal water.

Transfer the herbal mixture into the liquid castile soap and you've got your shampoo.

For your own use it's wise to write down the herbs you've used and the amount. Date the product as it has a shelf life of about 1 year.

STORING YOUR HERBSWhole herbs/spices will last longer than crushed or ground herbs. Many people prefer to buy the whole form and crush or grind their herb/spice as needed. Herbs/spices can be crushed with a mortar and pestle, or ground in a coffee grinder. Check all herb/spices for freshness at least once each year. If the herb/spice has lost it aroma, it should be replaced. Heat, sunlight, and dampness will cause herb/spices to lose their flavor and aroma quickly.Store in cool area away from light and dampness. Check often. ADDING HERBS TO YOUR FAVORITE FOODSUse strong, pungent spices in small quantities. Use more delicate seasonings in larger quantities. Herbs are used to enhance the flavor. If you use too much of an herb, you will overpower the flavor of the food. Start with teaspoon (except for red pepper which would be considerably less) to a pint of a liquid such as a sauce, soup, etc.; also use only teaspoon to one lb. of meat unless you are following a specific recipe. Remember less is more always start with a small quantity of an herb or spice you can always add to a recipe.

When using dried herbs, use a 1:3 ratio one part dried herbs to 3 parts fresh herbs. Dried herbs are more flavorful and potent, with a concentrated flavor.Whole Spices1. Tie herbs and spices in a cheesecloth, nylon net, or muslin bag for easy removal.

2. Add whole herbs and spices at the start of cooking in recipes that will cook for an hour or longer, such as soups and stews. Taste frequently.

3. Seeds used for flavor can be toasted briefly to bring out the flavor.Crushed or Ground Herbs and Spices1. Add about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time as flavors in crushed and ground spices are released quickly.

2. Freshly ground pepper has a strong flavor. Add slowly.

3. For cold foods, add the spices several hours before serving. Herbs and spices take longer to release their flavors in cold foods.

4. Marinate steak about one hour ahead of cooking/grilling - brush with oil, sprinkle with herbs and refrigerate until needed. 5. Meatloaf, hamburgers etc., add herbs while you mix.RECIPESFor a delicious stew seasoning, combine equal portions of whole Bay Leaves, Thyme Leaves, Parsley and Marjoram. Tie up the herbs in cheesecloth and drop in. Taste frequently to determine what level of seasoning you want. Remove when the flavor is perfect for you.

For a Provencal Mix, combine equal portions of Tarragon Leaves, Thyme Leaves, Sage Leaves, Onion Powder. Salt to taste. Use with pork, chicken and fish.HERBS AND THE FOODS THEY COMPLIMENTHere are a few foods and the herbs that compliment their flavors.
