- 1 bunch of fresh celery
- High-proof alcohol (such as vodka) to cover the celery
- A clean jar with a lid
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Celery
- Thoroughly wash the celery to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Chop the celery into small pieces, including the stalks and leaves. This maximizes the surface area for better extraction.
Step 2: Making the Tincture
- Place the chopped celery into the clean jar.
- Pour enough vodka over the celery to completely cover it. The alcohol acts as a preservative and extracts the beneficial compounds from the celery.
Step 3: Seal and Store
- Tightly close the jar with the lid and store it in a cool, dark place.
- Let the mixture sit for approximately 2-3 weeks, gently shaking the jar every few days to blend the contents.
Step 4: Strain and Use
- After the steeping period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another clean jar. Squeeze the celery pulp to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Store the strained tincture in a cool, dark place. It can be kept for up to a year.
