Good evening!
This is my first go for a submission post, so be kind if I'm missing things or mess up the format, please!
First up is the thyme itself:
I made this tincture before I was acquainted with this programme, so I'm afraid I don't have a picture of the physical stems of thyme that went into it. This is the same, somewhat unkempt, plant, however, that lives in my front window from which I took the thyme.
Next up, the making of the tincture:
I used plain, Sobieski vodka (the finest vodka available, in my opinion, now that Russian Standard is unavailable due to, well, obvious reasons), poured over the thyme, having been washed, until the vodka covered it. It then sat in my linen closet for, according to the notes I made on my calendar, close to two months, having been placed there in the first week of February and retrieved the second week of April. I regularly, meaning almost daily, gave the jar a little swoosh around to make sure the contents were well mixed.
Finally, the end product:
Having waited an appropriate amount of time, I took the jar with all inside and strained out the thyme, leaving behind the finished tincture. I then bottled this in the amber vials shown below. A picture of the contents of the vials within one of the droppers is shown against a white plate so you can see the coloration of the final result.
N.b. because I am a weirdo, the vials are labelled in Latin, bearing the text: Tinctura thymi ij.MMXXIII meaning "Tincture of Thyme 02/23"
