Description

Dandelion Bitters are a simple, traditional herbal remedy made to support digestion, liver health, and appetite. This DIY tincture combines the bitter power of dandelion root and leaf with aromatic herbs and citrus peel. Just a few drops before meals can help get your digestive system flowing naturally.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried dandelion root (or 1/2 cup fresh, chopped)

  • 1/4 cup dried dandelion leaf (or 1/2 cup fresh)

  • 2 tbsp dried orange peel (or fresh peel from 1 organic orange)

  • 1 tbsp dried ginger root (or 2 tbsp fresh, chopped)

  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds (optional, for extra digestive support)

  • 1-1.5 cups 80-100 proof vodka (or brandy)

  • 8 oz glass jar with tight-fitting lid

  • Small dropper bottle for storage (after straining)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herbs:
    Add all dried or chopped fresh herbs to a clean 8 oz glass jar.

  2. Add alcohol:
    Pour vodka or brandy over the herbs, making sure everything is fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top.

  3. Infuse:
    Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 4–6 weeks. Shake gently every few days.

  4. Strain and bottle:
    After 4–6 weeks, strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl. Pour into a dropper bottle or small jar for storage.

  5. Label and store:
    Label with the date and contents. Store in a cool, dark place. Use within 1–2 years.

How to Use:

  • Take 10–30 drops (about 1/4–1/2 tsp) in water 10–15 minutes before meals.

  • Great for jumpstarting digestion and easing bloating or sluggishness.

Notes

  • Make it alcohol-free by using apple cider vinegar or glycerin instead of alcohol (shelf life will be shorter).

  • Add a cinnamon stick or cardamom pod for extra warming flavor.

  • Ensure all plant materials are clean and from unsprayed areas.
