How to make a propolis infused glycerin using a yogurt maker. If you do not have a yogurt maker, you could also set your sealed jars on a heating pad. Research shows that propolis is better extracted using heat. for an even ore potent propolis tincture, rehydrate the propolis overnight with a little Everclear. Of course, your Propolis Glycerin extract will not be be 100% alcohol free but it will be more potent. glycerin will have to be diluted first with boiled distilled water before you can make your propolis glycerite.
3 oz. weighed Propolis
Enough Everclear to moisten or make a paste
Glycerin to Water Ratio
for dry herbs
6 parts glycerin
4 parts water
6 oz. glycerin
4 oz. boiled distilled water
Total 10 oz.

What is the Propolis Infused Glycerite used for? Is it like a health tonic?

[@CarolynGibsonHerbalist]

Propolis is considered Russian antibiotic. Propolis is super effective against bacteria virus and fungus. It is used on wounds and used in mouthwashes for periodontal diseases. It is especially effective against respiratory infections when taken orally. I have some videos on my channel. In Europe it is used at the first sign of a col taken orally and as a gargle

What amount of alcohol you put in the video to soak the propolis more or less?

[@CarolynGibsonHerbalist]

If I am making a propolis tincture I am using one ounce of propolis to 9ounces of alcohol for a 10 percent and increase the propolis for a stronger tincture. 2ounces for a 20 percent tincture or 3ounves for ac30percent tincture. If I am making a propolis oil I would soak the dried propolis in just enough everclear to moisten the propolis

For a glycerin propolis tincture. I would soak the propolis in just enough everclear to moisten it. Less than a tablespoon
