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! ❤

[chiclenews]

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

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. ❤

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.

[kathleenfallon]

Would you please add the exact amounts for this recipe?

[thomasjones]

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

[rayne]

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

[TheRingingCedar]

Can the alcohol be substituted with apple cider vinegar?

[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?

[sylviaramirez]

Hi I follow you on Instagram and I am new to your channel on YouTube 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!

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

[coboss]

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

[Kreneea]

- 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

[bernietrappey]

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

[gaylahollis]

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!

[artsis]

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

[philyra]

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

[ndmakhija]

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

[bhargavi]

Yeah any alternative to vodka... # non alcoholic
