Tincture is a strong alcoholic drink. It is made by infusing fruits, herbs and seeds with alcohol. Spirit has a very good ability: it extracts healing substances from plants and preserves their usefulness. People have been using it since antiquity to make medicinal infusions and alcoholic beverages. And today many people want to buy alcoholic tinctures not even because of the more interesting than vodka, rich flavour, but for the benefits to the body. And this benefit is real, of course, with moderate use.
Bitter ones are the healthiest. Sugar is almost never added to them. Except for balsams, which are made by combining infusions of several herbs at once.
Traditional Belarusian tinctures are prepared:
