Witch Hazel Skin Soother Recipe

This Witch Hazel Soother has a variety of uses, and it’s quite easy to make.

YIELD: Makes about 11/2 quarts (1.4 L)

INGREDIENTS

1 cup (240 ml) witch hazel twigs (1 inch long,or 2.5 cm, pieces cut with pruners) and leaves(at least three-fourths twigs)

3 cups (720 ml) 80-proof alcohol (or 1. cups (360 ml)70% isopropyl alcohol diluted with 1. cups (360 ml)water, plus more as needed (see Note)

1 half-gallon (1.9 L) Mason jar with lid

Parchment paper or wax paper

MAKE IT!

Place the witch hazel in the Mason jar.

Add the alcohol, adding more as needed to cover the plant material completely.

Place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper over the jar (the alcohol will corrode the metal lid).Seal the lid. Let the mixture infuse, out of direct sunlight, for at least 2 to 4 weeks, shaking daily.

Strain the liquid into a large bowl or measuring cup.Measure it and return it to the Mason jar.

Add an equal amount of water to the jar to dilute the alcohol. (We are trying to get to a finished alcohol percentage of 15 to 20 percent.)

Label, store, and use as needed. The mixture should keep for at least 6 months. Refrigerate for longer storage.
