Hawthorn Heart Elixir Recipe

Hawthorn Heart Elixir Recipe
A sweet, strong tonic for emotional and physical heart support.
Ingredients:
-
1 part dried Hawthorn berries
-
1 part dried Hawthorn leaves and flowers (if available)
-
½ part dried Rose petals (for added heart-opening energy and floral notes)
-
½ part Cinnamon chips or 1–2 small sticks (warming, circulatory)
-
Raw local honey to taste
-
Brandy or vodka (at least 40% alcohol)
Optional Additions:
-
A pinch of dried Motherwort (for deep emotional support)
-
A splash of Vanilla extract (for sweetness and soul warmth)
-
A few dried Hibiscus petals (for a tart tang and added colour)
Instructions:
-
Fill a jar about halfway with your dried herbs (berries, leaves/flowers, rose, cinnamon). You can adjust ratios to your liking—this is folk herbalism, not pharmacy!
-
Cover the herbs with equal parts brandy and raw honey. (If you prefer a sweeter elixir, use more honey. For a sharper tincture-like feel, use more alcohol.)
-
Stir well, lid tightly, and label with the date and ingredients.
-
Store in a cool, dark place for 4–6 weeks, shaking gently every few days and whispering a little love into the jar if you’re that kind of herbalist.
-
When ready, strain through muslin or cheesecloth and bottle your elixir in amber glass.
How to Use:
-
Take 1 dropperful (about 1ml) 1–3 times daily during times of stress, emotional healing, or cardiovascular support.
-
Add to tea, under the tongue, or even in warm water with lemon as a morning ritual.
