White Willow Bark is bark stripped from young white willow (Salix alba) trees. It is sometimes known by its Chinese name bai liu. It is gray-brown in color, and fissures develop in the bark as it ages.
In the kitchen, white willow bark is most commonly used for brewing herbal tea.
Your favorite spirits can turn white willow bark into a tincture. Vodka, with at least 80 proof, is perfect. Make your solution in a Mason jar. Add a tablespoon of white willow bark for every cup of vodka you want to use. Screw on the lid, shake it up to thoroughly mix your ingredients, and let the bark steep for at least two to four days. When your tincture is done, take a teaspoon of the mix two or three times a day. The tincture will last longer than the tea, so it's a good option for camping.
