Equipment
Pair of scissors
Glass or crystal container
3 Dropper bottles
Supplies
Fresh flowers
Spring or purified water
Brandy, vodka, or glycerin
Instructions
Express gratitude to the flowers and ask permission to cut it.
Use sharp scissors and cut flowers at peak bloom directly into a glass bowl of spring water. Avoid touching the flower. Flowers are best harvested in the morning.
Let the bowl sit in direct sunlight for several hours or until the flower wilts. Afterward, remove the flower with tweezers.
Pour your preservative (brandy, vodka, or glycerin) into a dropper bottle, filling it halfway. Fill the other half with your floral water. Label this bottle as 'mother.'
Grab another dropper bottle and fill halfway with preservative and half with floral water. Add in 5-7 drops from the 'mother' tincture. Label this bottle as 'stock.'
Optional step. Take another dropper bottle and fill halfway with preservative and half with floral water. Add in 5-9 drops from your 'stock' bottle. Label this bottle as 'dose.' Note, you can also dose from your 'stock' bottle.
Add your dose to a glass of water 4 drops at a time. Take as often as you feel the need to.
