Total Tonic

[Guest guest]

Dear Zoe,

That Total Tonic is as good as gold = aged to perfection.

We use our pressed mash in dog food (small amounts); dry it - powder it

and use as a condiment like salt and pepper; as a poultice to handle a

bad bite; etc. etc. = a hundred uses.

Never dilute if you don't have to.

Some kids need it diluted for taste reasons, but that'd be the only

exception I can think of.

Hugs,

Doc

I was cleaning up the storage room today and came across 2 quarts of brewing Total Tonic I had sort of forgotten about. They were dated 12-5-2006 ! They still looked good and one whiff and I began to cough and my sinuses opened right up- so Im assuming this stuff is rather potent LOL. In the process of straining I got some on my hands and boy o boy are they burning. I think I used my home grown habaneros on this batch- too many of them.

Anyhow its all strained and bottled now, but you know how I am about throwing stuff away. That mash still look viable- what can I do with it? Currently its in its own jar and covered with a bit more ACV awaiting your verdict. I just know its gotta be good for something.

Should I dilute the strained liquid or leave it as it is and dilute when using it?

Thanks for your reply  and sorry it took so long to get back to

you.    I did as you said and dried the mash  and have just powdered

it-   Holy Cow!    Let me tell you that the dust from the grinder is

STILL  a might potent  sinus irritant.

Even after extraction and heating(dehydrator)   this stuff seems

just as potent as it was fresh.    I don't think I will worry so much

about heating this stuff again.

Thanks for the suggestions,  it helps extend the life of these

plants and me too.
