Procedure
- The word "essence" is used in different ways — often for an alcoholic or glycerine extract of aromatic plant material.
- At home, a macerate in strong alcohol or a diluted syrup is more practical than trying to match a commercial essence with defined composition.
- Do not exceed doses from reliable recipes; omit if you are allergic to Ericaceae plants.

Clarifies the word essence on the preparation page — a home kitchen is not pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Why it works
