Herbal Glycerites are liquid herbal extracts that use pure certified kosher vegetable glycerin as the extraction menstrum instead of alcohol. Naturally sweet, they often appeal to children and are suitable for pets as well as those who have alcohol intolerance. We recommend that glycerites be stored in a cool place or in the refrigerator once opened as their shelf life is approximately 2 1/2 years from the date made.
