Thank you folks for your warm welcome,
devotus, i use medicinal herbs, and some of those herbs you can extract and more efficient and more effective in treating some health issues, or maintaining good health.
I have started doing distillation almost a year ago, using the alcohol for tinctures and the better cuts for drinking. In drinking I found the unlimited varieties of infusing my output with herbs & spices, I did it with licorice, cloves, calendula, lemon balm, Anise, galangal,,, etc. for some this will sound crazy but for my friends and me we cannot wait for the next batch for the next experiment. :violin:
Many Blessings & Thank you again

I'm very interested in Herbs, well all things botanical actually. It sounds like you'd have some interesting recipes and methods. In the future, if you're feel like it, you'd have at least one forum member who'd be all ears about your creations.

Cheers
