Preparation

  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 1Wash the fresh rosehips well in 2-3 waters, then let them dry on a paper towel, on a flat tray ~ 15 minutes.
  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 2Crush / grind the rosehips with a blender, but not very finely.
  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 3Add the crushed / crushed rosehips in a jar.
  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 4Pour the alcohol over the chopped rosehips. An alcohol concentration (strength) as high as 60 - 90º is preferred. Can be used: brandy, vodka.
  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 5Close the airtight jar and leave to soak for at least 3 weeks in places away from light and air. During maceration, it is recommended to shake the jar at least once a day.
  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 6After maceration, we filter the mixture with a gauze or a sieve. We take care to squeeze the rosehip pulp well, so as to obtain as much concentrated tincture as possible.
    → I personally, having nothing to do with the resulting pulp, threw it away. But if you produce alcohol, you can use it for tescovina or it can be used as a soil fertilizer.
    → For a complete clarification of the tincture we will follow step 7 (second filtration by cold settling).
    → The tincture obtained will be kept in glass containers, preferably dark in color, as small as possible and possibly dripping.
    → Consumption is recommended within 2 years of preparation.
  • Tincture of fresh, grounded rosehips in alcohol - Preparation step 7Optional: for a maximum clarification of the tincture, you can use this step: after the first filtration we put the tincture in a bottle in the refrigerator for 3-7 days, without shaking it. Although filtered, we will notice on the bottom of the bottle a decantation of the particles from the rosehip pulp. Basically we will gently pour, without shaking, the clear part into another bottle.
