Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 See Message 38450 in the message archives.. it may help answer your questions.. I've never seen a list... CV is not a good choice on roots and hard or tough parts of a plant... If you are using those parts and don't want alcohol... you could try mincing or chopping of the parts of the plant to help the acv... it may or may not work..

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Dear Annie, You can use ACV on any soft plants or the softer parts of plants such as leaves and flowers, and it will work fine. Cayenne is a soft plant and could be used exclusively with ACV. This choice would be yours. You might want to use powdered cayenne or dried herbs with this approach so there is none of your mixture getting any mold on it which can happen if there is too much water content in whatever it is your tincturing. Cayenne peppers would probably fall into this category so you may want to dry them out with a dehydrator first.
