Swedish Bitters Tincture – Traditional Recipe

Description

Swedish Bitters is a traditional herbal tonic made by steeping a blend of bitter herbs in alcohol. It’s most commonly associated with the Austrian herbalist Maria Treben, who popularised a classic formulation in the 20th century—though the recipe itself dates back much earlier, often linked to the Swedish physician Paracelsus (16th century).
