What you want is alcohol that is as pure as possible, with the fewest number of non-alcohol molecules as possible. Whisky, rum, and so on has less "clean" (pure) alcohol per part, so will absorb less of the herb than alcohol that is more pure. The higher the proof the better. For this reason, high-proof vodka and "everclear" (90%+ proof) are the best to use for tinctures. Do some research on bird flu elderberry tincture and you'll get the same info.

So far, I've got elderberry tincture, goldenseal, spicebush leaf, and yellow dock/dandelion root. It's a great way to extract and use the medicinal properties of the herbs.<BR/>HMPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257697880645849334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-84048991524680217312008-10-12T14:57:00.000-05:002008-10-12T14:57:00.000-05:00To: sethThey're simple to make and are an addition...To: seth<BR/><BR/>They're simple to make and are an additional use for your vodka, rum, etc. as a survival resource for another useful way to incorporate your various supplies.<BR/><BR/>RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-41340716481613137672008-10-12T14:14:00.000-05:002008-10-12T14:14:00.000-05:00thanks RW, great resource.thanks RW, great resource.sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04985457634387521975noreply@blogger.com
