Watercress Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is a fast-growing aquatic perennial of the mustard family, Brassicaceae, native to Europe and western Asia and naturalized in clear, slow-moving streams across North America, including Hawaii, where it is also farmed in spring-fed beds. Its hollow, floating or creeping stems root freely at the nodes and carry pinnate leaves of three to eleven rounded, dark green leaflets, with small white four-petaled flowers in clusters at the tips through summer. The leaves have a sharp, peppery, mustard-like taste. We extract the dried herb.
