In Medievel times, there were no such things as a Witch. To see a Witch, they would accuse a woman, and then they would burn her to see if she died. If she lived (no woman did), she was a witch.
Yes you can.

They would submerge them in water and if they drowned they were not a witch, but if they survived they were said to be a witch so they would then burn them. Also if you accused a person of being a witch, that was often good enough evidence that they were.
Drown in a well, toss from a cliff, burn at the cross.

you should test the witch by checking if it floats. You should keep it in a dark smelly whole before you do this as you need to make sure the public knows about it. If the witch floats then you should burn it, quater it and hang it, if the witch sinks then note that it wasn't a witch. Witches voodo dolls should also be burnt.
Witch hazel is an astringent that is used for a number of purposes. Specifically, it can be used as a face wash, a burn reliever, and a cut and wound cleanser. An example of this term used in a sentence would be, "Dana recommends witch hazel to all her friends, it cleared up her acne and soothed the burn she received while curling her hair."
they would torture them until they got a "confession" and then burn them alive.
Burning the Witches was created in 1983-11.
