I grew calendula this year, and made a tincture.

Tinctured some calendula blossom in everclear. I think I prefer using apple cider vinegar, except I know the shelf life is less. The alcohol burn just isn’t pleasant.

I made a calendula tincture using the weight to volume method. I weighed my dried calendula blossoms and used a 1:6 ratio (6 oz of vodka for every 1 oz of blossoms). I put it in a dark cabinet for 4 weeks, shaking often. Then I strained some into a dropper bottle for use!
