Wonder if the Dandelion wine my brother has clarifying would come under tincture ;)  The stuff smells wonderful.  He's got golden raisins in the one batch.

Recipe for dandelion tincture:

   1. Gather big beautiful healthy looking dandelions, in full bloom.
   2. Wash, then chop into ½- to 1-inch pieces, and pack tightly into jars.
   3. When the jar is full, pour in alcohol. I used alcohol that was around 75%. You can use something like Everclear, and dilute it with water.
   4. Snap a lid on, and your part of making the dandelion tincture is finished!
   5. Each day, take a minute to push the dandelion parts back under the alcohol.
   6. In six to twelve weeks, strain out the dandelion pieces and put the finished tincture into jars.
   7. Take daily for good health!
