The chemical composition of tincture on pine nuts
Pine nuts are seeds of cedar pine that grows in Siberia. Despite the name, pine nuts are not related to cedars - the seeds of these trees are inedible.
The so-called "cedar" is an alcohol tincture made from pine nuts. Cedar pine nuts are rich in nutrients, most of which are preserved in the manufacture of tinctures.

Tincture on pine nuts: recipes
There are several recipes for tinctures, different in composition and cooking technology. However, not a single recipe will provide the proper therapeutic result if the choice of raw materials is made incorrectly.
Harvesting pine nuts occurs in early autumn. Accordingly, it is better to buy raw materials for the preparation of a medicinal drink during this period.
Fresh and high-quality nuts have a rich brown shell color. And the peeled kernels should be a gentle cream color, without spots or splashes. Any discoloration of the shell or kernels indicates the duration of storage.
Such a product is unlikely to be beneficial. In addition, stale nuts often change their taste and become bitter.
Raw material preparation
To prepare the tincture, an alcohol base is necessary. In traditional medicine, this role is played by alcohol, while folk recipes can be replaced - vodka or high-quality moonshine.
Before starting to prepare the drink, the seeds of cedar Siberian pine need to be thoroughly washed, cleaned of debris and impurities. Then they are poured with boiling water, after a few minutes the water is drained, repeating the procedure twice.
The fact is that on the surface of the shells of each nut a large amount of resinous substances is collected, the use of which can harm the health of the pancreas. In addition, resins have a pungent odor that can spoil the taste of tinctures.
Under the influence of boiling water, resins dissolve and pass into water. The effectiveness of the process can be judged by the color of the water - after pouring the liquid becomes brown.
We cook on vodka
The most popular among traditional healers is the classic recipe - tincture on pine nuts on vodka. Its preparation is simple: 500 ml of vodka is poured into 50 g of nuts and put in a dark place for two weeks. Then filter through gauze, cotton or dense tissue.
When taken, the cedar is diluted with water or tea. The magnitude of the therapeutic dose depends on the type of disease. For diseases of the musculoskeletal system, take one tablespoon of tincture three times a day. For diseases of the digestive tract - 20 drops after a meal.
The course of treatment is a month. Then take a break for six months.
A single dose should not exceed 50 ml of tincture.
Moonshine cedar
On a half-liter can of moonshine take:
- 25 g pine nuts with shells;
- a tablespoon of sugar;
- a pinch of vanillin or a clove bud.
The peeled nuts are crushed with a hammer and poured into a glass jar. Then add sugar and vanilla or cloves, pour moonshine and mix. Then a tightly closed jar is placed in a dark but warm place and can withstand 10 days. It is recommended that you shake the contents of the jar every three days.
During this time, tincture on pine nuts on moonshine manages to infuse and acquire healing properties. Nevertheless, after filtering the drink, it is recommended to stand it for another three days in a dark place. Thus, the taste indicators of tincture are improved. Cedar is transparent, the color of cognac.
Tincture on pine nuts for alcohol
According to the traditional recipe, cedar with alcohol is prepared on peeled nuts. 50 g of nucleoli are filled with half a liter of alcohol and left in a dark place for three weeks.
From the inshell pine nuts
A drink made from peeled nuts has a high nutritional value. And with the addition of additional ingredients - also taste.
For eight liters of alcohol, take two liter cans of nuts with shells, seven buds of cloves, 250 g of honey and four tablespoons of oak bark. Withstand at least a month in a dark place.
