Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 If one is making their own tincture of an herb... Is there some way to know what to use as the extracting solution? I have heard alcohol - brandy - vodka - or Everclear...I have used all 3...but also I have heard there is some addition of molecularly empty water such as distilled...I am not not sure about the proportions of each...and wondering about a source of distilled water that is NOT sold in those nasty plastic (milk) jugs which no doubt leach stuff into the water... Any thoughts from anyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Why not distill your own water? I purchased a nice one inexpensively from American Water Distillers.
