You’re Menstrum is very important in tincture making, choose wisely. I found five o’clock vodka is a great one it is 5x distilled grain and 40% percent and you can get it in 50% as well (blue bottle) and is less expensive for those on a budget 😉

[brandongilhooly]

Good info thank you. Regarding the vodka you can take cheap Vodka and run it thru a brita water jug/filter several times and it will help remove impurities without removing the alcohol. I have "some experience" in the area :)

I;m so proud to see young women of color explore natural holistic ways of healing . I pray that as a collective we can come together and reach one and teach one on how to improve their health mind body and spirit for the African American inner city communities.

Thank you for your careful explanation dear. Just to help a little, charcoal doesn't always induce vomiting. Folks take capsules for gastritis and inner cleansing. Agape love ❤️

I use full strentgh white brandy to create my extracts. This seems to help with increasing shelf life. When I create ready-to-use portions, i dilute to 50/50 with purified/distilled water.

Your soothing voice and knowledge make you perfect to listen to

[mannersmatter]

You dilute the tincture based on herb type as in fresh plant or dried and roots. They all need different amounts of alcohol to water

[IamDrNana]

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I accidentally knocked my bottle of Everclear off the shelf before I opened it. I was about to go to the liquor store.

[echols]

You can filter the vodka yourself. I think the best thing to use for this is a zero water filter. Make sure you don't use the same filter for water and alcohol.

I’m so glad that I watched this video before making my very first tincture. I purchased 2 large bottles of the cheap vodka based on another video that I watched 😂😂😂😂😂😂. However, I know someone that will be excited to drink it. 😂😂😂Lol. Tiffany, you always do a wonderful job of explaining every detail. Thanks for this wonderful video.

[ViewNic]

Thank you - this was so helpful. I'm about to make my first tincture and I would not have thought about the vodka quality (not a vodka drinker!) I look forward to learning more.

[christineporter-me]

I’m so happy to find this. I’m just starting to dabble in tinctures and the first thing I thought of was the type and quality of the alcohol. Thank you for this info!

[mariamjjackson]

Thank you for clarifying the "cheap" vodka usage....

[Artislife]

This is a wonderful articulation. Highly recommend Meili Vodka, it’s sourced from mountain spring water, in a beautiful recycled glass bottle and it’s really inexpensive! 🤙

[cyndidame]

That makes sense....I never thought of it that way. Glad I found your channel.

You know much more about vodka than I do. No doubt about it. I haven't drunk any since my teens. That was cheap junk. One thing I do remember is that once the cap was removed poured and replaced, it tasted very gross if not used soon. The exposure to air must have caused oxidation and that would upset my stomach in small amounts. I make tinctures for personal use, but decided against vodka for that reason. My dropper would be opened frequently when needed. I found that Ever clear is more refined although not Non GMO or organic. I can't find an alternative. Friendly correction about Activated Charcoal. It was traditionally used to absorb toxins. It's still used in water filters. You rinse it upon purchase and use to remove chemicals from tap water. You can tell the difference. It will not impart flavor, nor cause vomiting. What someone mistakenly told you was what's called an emetic. That is a vomit inducing compound like mustard powder. That's a different mechanism for removing toxins from the stomach when you eat something toxic. Activated Charcoal is available to you in better supplement stores. I Have a bottle on hand in case a family member gets sick.

I just bought a big bottle of potato vodka because the store guy said it picks up flavors really well. I’m also making vanilla extract. I think it’s Monopolova? From Poland.
I take Du Zhong, schizandra, and fennel seed tea at night but I’m hoping a tincture will streamline things. Especially when I travel!
Great vid, keep it up!

[Slatinopulu]

girl you are not dramatic thank you for the advice never stop talking your mind out

[gladstonewilliams]
