1. Antioxidant-Rich Tinctures
Green walnut hulls are rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and protect the body from free radical damage. Making a tincture is a popular way to harness these benefits.
Ingredients:
Fresh green walnut hulls
High-proof alcohol (e.g., vodka or brandy)
A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid
Instructions:
Harvest and clean fresh green walnuts thoroughly.
Cut the green walnuts into quarters and fill a glass jar about three-quarters full with the pieces.
Pour the alcohol over the walnuts until they are fully submerged, leaving some space at the top.
Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place, shaking it daily for the first week.
Let it steep for 6 weeks, then strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Discard the solid hulls.
The tincture can be taken in small doses (a few drops to a teaspoon diluted in water). Consult a healthcare provider for appropriate dosage.
