Garlic tincture on vodka

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products. Vodka should be of high quality, and garlic is better to take juicy, fresh harvest. Mint is added to enhance the flavor /if possible/. They brought it to me later and I added a twig after shooting the recipe.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the garlic, remove the damaged places from the cloves.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rinse garlic cloves under cool, running water. Do not neglect this procedure, for a good result, the raw materials must be clean.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then the garlic should be crushed. Of course, it is faster to squeeze through a press, but any tincture will need to be filtered and small particles make it turbid. I prefer to cut thin slices with a knife, garlic will perfectly release the juice and the tincture will be well filtered.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour the crushed garlic into a glass jar and pour vodka, mix well.

7. Step 6:

   

   Vodka should hide garlic completely. To prevent alcohol from evaporating, cover the jar with cellophane, then close the lid tightly. Put it to infuse in a dark place at room temperature for 10 days. After 2-3 days, do not forget to shake.

8. Step 7:

   

   Strain the infused tincture through several layers of gauze, pour into a bottle and leave in the refrigerator for 4 days. Then take 3 times a day half an hour before meals for 10 drops, adding them to 1 tbsp.l. milk. Tincture is taken as a restorative mixture, cleans blood vessels, improves metabolism. The course is 1 month, then a break of 10 days and repeat the course. Store in the refrigerator.
