So in the spring of 2019 I cut up some branches and twigs from a witch hazel tree in my yard. It had been chewed up by the gypsy moths invasion that year. So all the growth that didnt have buds sprouting were cut off and snipped into little itty bitty pieces and stuffed into a large mason jar. I poured some smirnoff vodka into the jar and filled it up a half inch over the top of the sticks. Covered it up and set it to rest in my cellar on a shelf.
I was going to filter it last year, but totally forgot all about it. So today I filtered it. I used a mesh filter first then a couple of paper filters after. It's really strong now. I may have to do this again for another 2 year batch. I had done it previously but only let it set for the summer. It wasnt as good. This time its really good.
This spring I'll do a better pic tutorial for the next batch....
Heres some pix of the jars.
