You will need:
- 1 pint jar with tight fitting lid
- 1/4 cup dried, coarsely ground yarrow
- a half and half mixture of grain alcohol (Everclear) and spring water.
* Place the herbs in the jar, and fill the jar to the shoulder with grain
alcohol - spring water mixture. Cover tightly.
* Store at room temperature, protected from light and heat, for 4-6 weeks.
Shake vigorously every few days.
* After 4-6 weeks strain the mixture through a clean cotton cloth in a
colander or strainer. Squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
* Discard the plant material and store the liquid in a dark glass bottle.
This preparation will keep at room temperature indefinitely.
* Apply to itchy areas with a cotton ball.
