When it comes to preserving the vitality of flower essences, brandy is a clear choice. Its role isn’t just practical—it’s foundational. Brandy is natural, flavorful in minute doses, and most importantly, offers unmatched preservation, keeping the essence potent indefinitely when properly stored in dark, colored glass to minimize light absorption.
Taste Matters
Brandy enhances the experience subtly, making water taste crisp and fresh with just a 4-drop dose. Alternatives like vinegar often leave a tangy aftertaste that children and pets might dislike, while brandy integrates seamlessly, even in flavored beverages.
Safety and Alcohol Content
Worried about alcohol? Consider this: a standard flower essence contains 20% alcohol, lower than the vanilla extract in your pantry, which holds at least 35%. Dosages are tiny—2 to 4 drops diluted in a glass of water, resulting in a nearly imperceptible amount of alcohol consumed.
Brandy’s longevity and compatibility make it the ideal choice for preserving the vibrant life force of flower essences. At Wild Plenty, we use high quality, natural brandy straight from the source in France.
