So the Grand Marnier Domestiqué was adapted for Orange Gin, as there was not enough brandy… but the gin version is fantastic! Highly recommended
Have now started a Plantain Tincture… a jar stuffed full of plantain leaves chopped very fine and filled up with a mixture of plum brandy (very high percentage alcohol) and regular cognac (50%). Shake vigorously twice a day for 14 days and then strain the mixture through a very fine muslin and bottle the resulting tincture securely. Plantain is very good as a vulnerary (wound healer) and you can use it externally for scratches, bites and grazes – lots of other uses internally as well, diluting a teaspoonful with water and drinking three times a day.
Next is going to be dandylion roots and leaves – leaves in tea or as a tincture as a diuretic and roots as a tincture for a mild laxative.
