Ingredients

Ginseng Tincture:
1 part dried Ginseng Root
5 parts EVERCLEAR® Grain Alcohol

Pear Elixir:
2 pears peeled and cut into chunks
3 c. apple juice concentrate, unsweetened
1 tbsp. fresh grated ginger
¼ tsp. cinnamon
⅛ tsp. nutmeg
20 drops ginseng tincture

Instructions
  1. Make the tincture: Place the cut ginseng in a clean, dry glass jar. Pour the Everclear over the ginseng, covering it completely.
  2. Steep in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks (or up to 6 months, if you have the patience). Shake the jar gently every few days to ensure proper extraction.
  3. Strain the tincture through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a clean glass container, squeezing out as much liquid as possible from the ginseng.
  4. Pour the strained tincture into dark glass dropper bottles and label with the date of preparation and the type of tincture.
  5. Make the elixir: Combine pears, apple juice, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a glass.
  6. Add a squeeze of Lemon juice and 20 drops of ginseng tincture and stir again.
  7. Garnish with pear and sage. Drink 1-3 times daily.
Variations

You can use your tincture in a variety of different ways! Take it straight, add it to recipes, or mix it into your morning coffee. Or you can add ginseng tincture to a tea or Mocktail recipe:

Make It a Mocktail:
