Welcome to Tincture Tutorials, where we dive into the wonderful world of herbalisms! In this section, we'll be exploring the basics of tincture-making. Don't worry, no actual herbs will be harmed in the making of these tutorials.
Before we can even think about making tinctures, we need to gather our herbs! This is the most crucial step in the tincture-making process, as the quality of your herbs directly affects the quality of your tincture. Learn more about gathering herbs for tincture-making.
Now that we have our herbs, it's time to create the tincture solution! This involves soaking the herbs in a solvent, usually ethanol or glycerin, to release the active compounds. Find out more about creating the tincture solution.
Once we've created the tincture solution, it's time to filter out any impurities and bottle it up! This is where the magic happens, and your tincture begins to take shape. Learn more about filtering and bottling your tincture.
Don't forget, friends! Tincture-making is not a DIY project to be taken lightly. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures, or you might end up with a batch that's, shall we say, "interesting". Get the lowdown on tincture safety.
