## About
The day is done but will not quite let go. A little water, twenty drops, a chair by the window and the lamp turned low: this is the passionflower hour.Passionflower's bloom looks as though it were designed by committee, a halo of thread-like violet filaments ringing a green crown, open for a single day on a vine that will climb anything within reach. The vine is native to the American Southeast, where it climbed fence lines long before any botanist described it, and where it was traditionally taken at the end of the day. European herbalists later adopted it for much the same purpose.We harvest the aerial parts, leaf, stem and flower together, at the peak of summer flowering, then extract them at a ratio of one to four in 40% grain alcohol. Nothing else goes into the bottle: a deep olive-brown liquid that carries the plant's faintly grassy scent.DetailsPlant parts: leaf, stem and flowerExtract: 1:4 in 40% grain alcoholIngredients: passionflower and grain alcohol, nothing elseHow to useTake twenty to forty drops in a little water, about twenty minutes before bed, as part of your evening wind-down.
