Dandelion root tincture

11 years ago

I made my first tincture yesterday (woo!) and all went very well. I picked dandelions from my yard, which I know have not been sprayed with any sort of chemical. I washed the roots very well, cleaned the jar and lid, and topped it off with 80 proof vodka.

It is now day two of my tincture settling, and at the bottom of the jar there is a white substance. When I shake the jar enough, the white washes away little by little.

The root is completely covered by vodka, so I don't know whether I did something wrong, or if this is common for dandelion root.

I did some research about it, and it seems to have happened to other people's dandelion root tinctures, as well.

Any advice would help! thanks :)
