Yes, Chiquitabella,
LOL I can just see you and Susan moonshining PM
If you use a small jam jar of 1 cup (= 1/2 U.S. liquid pint = 8 U.S. fluid ounces), that's 237 ml. The two extracts in the publication above were both effective. One was 0.1 g powder per ml, that is 0.1 g/ml * 237 ml = 23.7 g = 0.83 ounces (avoirdupois) of powder for one cup. The other extract was twice as strong, so 1.67 ounces for one cup. The powder will fill up one or two tenths of the jar.
Does this make sense? If not, just post what size of jar you have available, and what units your scale reads.
I usually make my extracts of other herbs a lot stronger. I fill the whole jar with powder, and pour the liquid to just above the powder. But I assume the people who wrote that article had a good reason to make it not too strong.
