How do I make wintergreen alcohol?

Answer by  Christian9247 (5042)

Chop up 10 oz of wintergreen leaves. Place them in a sealed jar with rubbing alcohol. Leave this jar in the dark for two weeks. Shake the jar once or twice a day to make sure all the leaves circulate. Strain the leaves with cloth and keep the wintergreen alcohol stored in a dry place.

Well the easiest way is to start with a bottle of neutral alcohol. Get a bottle of quality vodka. Then get some fresh winter green. Throw it into the bottle whole or break it up some to make it flavor faster. Let it steep for a few weeks and then stain it out and there you have it.

Take the the wintergreen leaves and bruise them to release their natural oil. Make sure use the back spoon to do this then chop them in pieces pressing them. Now put them in a mason jar seal it. allow it to sit in the dark for 2 weeks for liquid-juice.

To make this herbal lotion, crush about a cup of fresh wintergreen leaves and add to a glass jar filled with rubbing alcohol. Seal the jar and store in a cool, dark place. Each day shake the jar. After two weeks open the jar and sift out the liquid through a cheesecloth. Keep the wintergreen alcohol in a sealed jar.

For one liter of wintergreen alcohol, chop 300 grams of fresh wintergreen leaves, and then squash them with spoon. Put leaves in the jar and fill it with alcohol, leaving 1" empty. Seal it and store it in dark place. Leave it for 2 weeks, but shake the jar once a day at the same time. Filter it afterwards. Voila!
