Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 This is probably it: Ingredients: 1Kg unsulphured dried apricots 1Kg molasses 3 Litres red Wine 5ml/Litre tinctures of Ginger, Gentian, Saw Palmetto, Yellow Dock, Damiana, Nettle tops. 0.5ml/Litre tincture of Capsicum (optional) Method: Cover the apricots with water and simmer for 6 hours. Add molasses and simmer for a further 2 hours. Cool, and liquidise in a blender. Add red wine, stir for 5 -10 minutes until pourable. Add the tinctures. 1 Kg apricots makes about 4 Litres tonic. Bottle it up in 500ml airtight bottles and keep refrigerated once opened. Dosage: 5 - 10 ml 3 times a day. 30ml per day is said to provide 2mg of absorbable iron. Â It's delicious, of course Subject: Iron Tonic Recipe To: ukherbal-list Date: Wednesday, 16 February, 2011, 9:38 Â Sometime ago someone put an iron tonic recipe up using munza apricots and molasses. I am sure I kept a copy but now a patient has asked for help I of course can't find it!! Can anyone supply it? many thanks in advance Dore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yes it does sound good - might give this a go! Can I just clarify the measurements - does it mean that for each litre of wine you add 5ml of each of the tinctures (0.5ml in the case of Capsicum) - ie 15ml of each tincture altogether?

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I thought it meant 5ml of each of the tinctures per litre, ie 15ml of each one, making 45ml of the first six plus 1.5ml of Capsicum.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yes, Frances, it does mean 5ml of each tincture per litre - at least that's what I've always done and I've made several batches. So you end up putting a total of 90ml of the first 6 tinctures in, plus a dash of capsicum. Hope that clarifies it or we could go on forever at this rate! best wishes Max Subject: Iron Tonic Recipe To: ukherbal-list Date: Wednesday, 16 February, 2011, 9:38 Sometime ago someone put an iron tonic recipe up using munza apricots and molasses.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ditto I have made up several batches of this tonic and it always gives impressive results. I used to find just a single dose of 10ml gave me a boost when I was getting heavy periods. Thank you to whoever posted up originally!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Oh yes of course - 90ml - don't know where that 45ml came from! Anyway thanks for clearing that up and I look forward to bubbling up a lovely iron-rich potion soon.
