Good day Steemians! I am starting up a batch of cayenne tincture with peppers from our garden.
It’s a simple process.

I cut off the tops and slice the peppers cross ways then chop them into about 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Then fill a quart jar loosely to the top. Finally I pour a good quality vodka over the top filling the jar just below the brim. I put this in a dark space shaking it about once a week. In about 60 days I will break it out and strain it off into another glass container. Preferably dark glass. Either way I store it in a dark area. I pour in clean water till my solution is 20 to 25 percent alcohol. This can be put into spray bottles for emergency use. Cayenne has been known to save lives of people having heart attacks. Spray in the mouth. It also can be used for arthritis topically. Internally known to help remove parasites.
In the winter I take a half teaspoon a day for overall health.
