Making he shou wu powdered root tincture

A few weeks ago I decided to try my good green witch skills in herbal tincturing.
He shou wu is one of my favourite herbal remedy - amongst many healing properties that i am still discovering, it make my hair beautiful, lush and reverses any greys - but it's taste is rather bitter and the texture a bit gritty. I tried to blend it in my morning tonics and chocolate smoothies but the bitterness cannot be easily disguised. Anyway I have found a way now to add it in my fruity and gynostemma leaf teas. It seems it becomes a little milder with hot water and some sweetener (xylitol and or stevia would do nicely). By the time my tincture is ready - another 3 weeks at least - I'm sure I will be so used to it that I will have to give it away to someone else who is still struggling. I will soon add my recipes and pictures of this amazing wonder root.
