I just put dry barberry and 40% vodka in a 5:1 ratio today. A few hours later, I noticed there are bubbles at the top of the mixture. IS this normal?

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider. 1 user thanked author for this post.
