An interview with Dr. Richard Schulze
BISER: Is it difficult to make your own cayenne tincture?
SCHULZE: It´s easy Just follow these steps:
1. Start to make this and ANY Tincture, if possible, on a NEW Moon.
2. Take a Quart Canning Jar and fill it ¼ FULL with DRIED Cayenne Peppers,
getting the HOTTEST ones (i.e. - Habanero, African Bird, Serrano, Jalapeno),
that you can obtain.
3. Add enough 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to the Cayenne Peppers
(powdered, using a Blender or Grinder) to just COVER them.
4. Use enough FRESH Cayenne Peppers, that you can blend with 50% Grain
Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to turn the Mixture into an Apple Sauce-Like
Consistency.
5. Add this Mixture to the 1st Mixture, filling up the Canning Jar ¾ FULL.
6. Fill up the rest of the Canning Jar with MORE 50% Grain Alcohol (100
Proof Vodka).
7. Shake it as MANY times as possible, during the Day.
8. Let this Mixture sit, until the following FULL Moon (15-16 Days), but
OPTIMALLY until the following NEW Moon (28-29 Days)!
(It is actually better to strain off on a FULL moon)
9. Strain this Mixture through an UNBLEACHED Coffee Filter.
10. Bottle the RESULTING Tincture.
NOTE: Part EQUALS Volume, NOT Weight in this Tincture Method. Modify this
procedure by using DRIED Herbs ONLY, if FRESH Herbs are NOT AVAILABLE, and
when making other Herbal Tinctures also. Also if you want to make a
SUPER-POTENT Tincture (i.e. - Cayenne Pepper & Lobelia Seed Pod - see
below), then allow the Mixture to sit for a FULL 3 Months!
