Strawberry Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is the wild or woodland strawberry, a low perennial of the rose family, Rosaceae, native to woodland edges and grassy banks across Europe, northern Asia and North America. It spreads by runners into loose mats 10 to 20 cm tall, with trifoliate leaves of oval, sharply toothed leaflets that are bright green above and paler beneath. White five-petaled flowers with yellow centers appear in spring, followed by small, intensely fragrant red fruit dotted with seeds on the surface. We extract the dried leaf.
