How to Make Herbal Extracts or Tinctures

Make your own herbal extracts and tinctures

Use Glycerin, Apple Cider Vinegar, or Alcohol to extract the beneficial properties of herbs.

If you cannot take alcohol there is a way to replace the alcohol in a final step called Solvent Exchange. This is covered in another post.

To make a powder from dried herbs grind them up in a coffee bean grinder.

If you are using fresh herbs and/or cut herbs put the alcohol and herbs in the blender and blend to a pulp. Pour this pulp into the glass jars.
