Kaffir Lime Leaves Tincture

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I've been pre-occupied in the past week - mostly because of good

things (busy business), but also because of some personal stuff (

coming back from his snowy business trip and celebrating our

anniversary finally).

Anywyas, I've been delving into the tincturing world. Started brewing

a few things which I am surprisingly happy with. I have kaffir lime

leaves since Sunday night in alcohol. I started thinking they are just

about to smell " off " so I strained them.

How long do the tincturing mavens here usually leave citrus leaves in

alcohol for?

The result, by the way, is a beautiful emerald green. I think it

smelled better yesterday night though (only two days in the alcohol).

* Also tincturing a few other stranger/rarer materials, but will post

about them later!

I made a wonderful kaffir lime leaf tincture about 3 years ago. I

can't quite remember how long I left the leaves in the SD alcohol for,

but it was at least a week and the fragrance now is still beautiful -

just like the fresh leaves.

If anyone has any knowledge about where I can find some white ginger

lily absolute, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks, .

If it's the flower essence you are looking for, White Lotus Aromatics has it.

I haven't got any, however. Eden Botanicals has ginger lily root, which is

spicy/woody, nice, but if you are looking for a floral scent, quite different

than what you might have in mind. I got a sample of the ginger lily root from

them and I love it.

> Hi - Sorry for the delay and thanks for the info on Ginger

Lily Root - which sounds very nice. I'm really after the White Ginger

Lily floral scent. It's so powerful and not at all cloying, which I

love. I don't see it on White Lotus, but I understand they used to

have it. Also, I believe you have to buy wholesale and need some

license to buy from there. Correct me if I'm wrong.
