Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 If it were me.......... I would shake good before I left... making sure there is about 2" of liquid over the top of herbs... and leave sit till I got back and shake the heck out of it when I returned.... I have had to do this on rare occasion... I put them in my cabinet where it is cool and dark. I've been gone about 5 days is the longest... but they were fine when I returned.. and if I use 80 proof (which is only when I can't get to somewhere that sells 100 or everclear... I let it sit a good 3 wks or 4.... before I strain.... You're tincture might be a bit less potent but I usually take a bit more.... We do what we can in a pinch!!!

Should I let them sit without shaking and tinctur when I get home or just go ahead and do it before I leave?
