        Hi,  I started a Basil Flower tincture with vodka last week, but some of the flowers are not covered  in alcohol and have turned brown.  The flowers in the alcohol are still green.  Do I need to start over or can I add more vodka? Thanks

          If it was fresh basil, I’d start over….And, I’d start over with dry basil.  :0)

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
