I love the way you just broke down how to make a tincture in such a simplified way! Wow! I don’t know why but I’m amazed. You are Super cool! ❤

[@chicle97news]

Can’t wait to try this - seems so easy with amazing benefits 😍🙏

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

It's true!

[@jeanneamato8278]

I of course will be making this but as an Italian I drink bitters after dinner also. Italians are famous for daring different kinds Aperol is one.

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

That is a lifestyle I am in favor of!

[@thomasjones7176]

This video is so great😍👌 I also use Organic Apple Cider Vinegar at times to Tincture Fruits & Veggies😁

[@ebony5766]

I'm glad you said ACV because I can't drink alcohol. Thanks!

[@denialisnotjustariverinegypt]

Also was going to mention…you may already be aware of this…but there are different kinds of cinnamon and it’s best to use the safe form of cinnamon (Ceylon) cinnamon is the safest toxins wise. May have to order it online as it’s not typically sold in stores. Even if the other kinds of cinnamon are organic…it still doesn’t make it safer. It needs to be Ceylon. All of this is researchable online. That’s how I found out. Just passing it along. ❤

[@aletaking6363]

Yes, I most definitely agree that Ceylon’s the way to go! Learned this long ago bcuz I LOVE cinnamon, and I use it often, even when I cook. Many don’t know the danger associated with the more commonly bought “Cassia variety” of cinnamon. And Ceylon has many additional health benefits!

[@frannyML]

Thanks Rachelle! Is there a benefit to using fresh ginger vs dried in this recipe? Will the water in the fresh ginger affect the shelf life of the extraction?

[@coboss1252]

How much of each ingredient do we need? Hard to see how many cloves and anise was used. Thank you! 🤩😊

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

It's really loose! A tablespoon or a small handful. Though you could easily do less or twice as much! Add more of the flavors you like and less of the ones you don't like. (Lots of people like more cinnamon and less anise, say.) Hope that helps!

[@coboss1252]

@@RachelleRobinettSupernatural Gotcha 👍🏼 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm excited to try this. Extra cinnamon for me 😋

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

@@coboss1252 Extra cinnamon, always a good idea. Enjoy!!

[@flothoejmand8452]

*runs to the store to get vodka yay ^^ very nice presentation, you seem genuine and kind, ty for this recipe :)

[@sylviaramirez6732]

Hi I follow you on Instagram and I am new to your channel on KZbin because I have been looking for a recipe for bitters have you ever tried adding artichoke leaves I heard those are very bitter and work very well I’m going to try your recipe but adding some artichoke leaves love all your recipes and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@gaylahollis703]

Hi Rachelle this is first of your videos I've seen. Thanks! Excited to try your recipe but might want also to give some to family members with no alcohol so... I might want to try this with my homemade water kefir vinegar, or, apple cider vinegar. Will you please tell me approximately much vegetable glycerin to use along with the vinegar? Thanks!

[@TheRingingCedar]

Can the alcohol be substituted with apple cider vinegar?

[@bernietrappey9735]

Did you use ground black pepper or black pepper corns in your recipe, and how much? Thanks. A recipe of exact amounts would be sooooo great.

[@kathleenfallon3875]

Would you please add the exact amounts for this recipe?

[@mtnlayde01]

Very nice 👍

[@guyaneseangel1992]

Can you do one for staying regular? 🙈

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

Added to the list ✔️😉

[@rayne4180]

Does one need to do a normal canning procedure with the jars or..?

[@philyra595]

Do you have to dehydrate your orange peel or can you use fresh?

[@Wellandgood]

We recommend drying your peels out!

[@Kreneea263]

@RachelleRobinetteSupernatural - IDK why but I used fresh orange peel and now not sure that such was ok. Might you advise on whether or not fresh orange peel will be an issue? Also I've let this stuff sit longer than 6 weeks......😬

[@veronicacastleberry6618]

I got my gallbladder removed over a year ago and I still have gut issues can I use tinctures?

[@bhargavi368]

Yeah any alternative to vodka... # non alcoholic one!!!!!????

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

Sharing the same note for you here! Alas nothing works quite the same as alcohol for tincturing but! you can make a similar version with apple cider vinegar and honey (half & half), or just vinegar. We'll have to make one of those in the future! Vegetable glycerine is also used in non-alcoholic tinctures. :)

[@ndmakhija]

What can we replace alcohol with? I don’t drink vodka due to religious reasons

[@wongfeihung1847]

If you don't use alcohol, it won't be able to extract its essential oils and nutrients. In addition, alcohol prohibits bacterial growth... If you don't use a higher alcohol proof content, your decoction will go bad and or mold

[@Jade-qw9om]

My boyfriend has Crohn’s. Is this ok for him to take?

[@artsis1000]

How much of each? I thought it was 1 oz of herb to 2oz of liquid?

[@mjmitch3569]

Does it expire?

[@hassanmoudakkir2063]

if i married women like you I'm sure i don't need any bitters Digestion hahaha because when i look your face i feel relax and calm and i think 80% of Diseases of gut is Mental state and stress thank you so much for sharing but i prefer make Herbal Tincture free alcohol with vegetal glycerin or with Apple Cider Vinegar thank you again princess i wish you happy in your life

[@gaylahollis703]

I want to try this with my own kefir water vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Will you please tell me approximately much vegetable glycerin to use? Thanks!

[@hassanmoudakkir2063]

@@gaylahollis703 Hi princess gayla I'm so sorry because i was so busy first there is many way but i preferer cider vinegar + Dried herbs you not need approximately just 1 Fill the glass container full of dried herbs 2 Pour apple cider vinegar over the herbs until they are completely submerged 3 Store the container in a cool dark place Each day shake the bottle to agitate the contents and advice you please don't make apple cider vinegar in market because note pure you must make your apple cider vinegar homemade or buy it from organic market finally you must be know Tincture with apple cider vinegar not has long life just 6 month max because but alcohol 2 to 3 years but alcohol not good for your health and you can do many herb for example if i has problem in my stomach or in my digestive system i use herb common herbs common herbs treat stomach problems 30% + 70% apple cider vinegar in jar and if you has any question just put in comment and answers because i have big experience make bitters or herb free alcohol and also in lacto fermentation your welcome i enjoy to make my own bitters or Herbal Tinctures I'm sorry for my language not strong because I'm not native speaker
