How to Make Milk Thistle Glycerite

    Prepare the Glycerite

    • 1). Grind the milk thistle seeds to a coarse powder. This may need to be done in batches.

    • 2). Pour the resulting powder into a jar.

    • 3). Combine the vegetable glyerine and water in a measuring cup and stir well.

    • 4). Pour the glycerine mixture into the jar, making sure that at least 2 inches of liquid covers the ground seeds.

    • 5). Stir the mixture thoroughly.

    • 6). Cap the jar tightly and shake well.

    • 7). Store the jar in a cool, dry spot away from heat and light for two to four weeks. Shake jar once or twice daily during this time.

    Straining the Glycerite

    • 1). Allow the herbs to settle to bottom of jar by not shaking for one to two days before straining.

    • 2). Place mesh strainer over the mouth of another jar and line with cheesecloth.

    • 3). Gently pour the infused liquid through the strainer and into the second jar.

    • 4). Place wet pulp in cheesecloth and squeeze to extract the remaining liquid.

    • 5). Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry, darkened area.
