Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Does this sound right. I took cloves and crammed them and tightly packed them into a small glass jar. I then poured 80 proof vodka over this and then send a wooden thin stick into this to get any air bubbles out. I then topped off the jar with the vodka and tightly capped. I plan on leaving this on a dark shelf for about 4-6 weeks and shake daily and top off if needed. That's my understanding of how to make a tincture. . .does that agree with your all's experience? thanks, joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hey Joseph! I do it a little different; let's compare and see which is better. First, I read that you have to use at least 100-proof alcohol, so that's what I use--rotgut. *lol* I use 1 oz. herb (powdered; 4 fresh) to 10 oz. alcohol, store for 2 weeks and shake once a day. What does everybody else think? --Sara >Does this sound right. I took cloves and crammed them and tightly packed them into a small glass jar.
