Agrimony leaves, flower, or stem (as per your need)
A jar (for storage and making)
Boiled Water.
Food grade Glycerin.

Instructions

Prepare the Herbs:

Chop agrimony leaves, flowers, or stems into small pieces.

Fill the Jar:

Place the chopped herbs in the jar, filling it halfway. Avoid compressing the herbs; let them settle naturally.

Add Boiled Water and Glycerin:

Pour a small amount of boiled water into the jar to moisten the herbs.
Fill the remaining space with food-grade glycerin, ensuring the herbs are fully covered.

Seal and Store:

Seal the jar tightly and place it in a warm location.
Let the mixture steep for 4 to 6 weeks.

Shake Regularly:

Shake the jar daily to mix the ingredients thoroughly and improve extraction.

Strain and Store:

After 4–6 weeks, strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Transfer the glycerite to a clean, airtight jar or bottle and store it in a cool, dark place.

Notes

Storage and Shelf Life

Glycerin-based tinctures have a slightly shorter shelf life than alcohol-based tinctures, typically lasting about 1–2 years when stored properly.
