Hello folks!
I'm a tincture passionate, that's mostly what I do. I've looked into different options and i have found very scattered information in the forum about how to make high quality grade tinctures. So I thought it was a good idea to open a thread specifically on the different types of methods to make high grade tinctures.
I'll start listing a few and it would be great if people could add their knowledge so we can get all the best brains and experience in one place.
CLASSIC
- Decarb 10 grams of grained herb at 225F/107C for 60 minutes in an oven over a baking sheet. Let it cool for 30 minutes Put it in a sealed jar, cover with 95% alcool, store it in the freezer for 1 month, shake it 2-3 per week. After the 30 days, filter the alcool with coffe filter, evaporate the alcool but letting the jar open. Mix it with 30 ml vegetable oil and store it in a droplet container. Start with 4 drops and regulate
Pros: easy
Cons: loose terpenes
MASON JAR TINCTURE (copied from Leafly)
Set your oven between 220 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit and place the oven rack in the middle position.
Break up the cannabis until it’s about the size of a grain of rice, put it into the mason jar and lightly screw on the lid.
Lightly wet the kitchen towel and lay it over the baking sheet then put the mason jar on the towel. The damp towel will help anchor the jar to the baking sheet and keep it from falling over.
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 60 minutes. Every 15 minutes, carefully remove the mason jar from the oven with the oven gloves and give it a shake to disperse the cannabis evenly.
After 60 minutes, remove the jar from the oven, and let cool for 30 minutes before storing or using it for cooking.
Then to do the tincture:
Put the decarb cannabis in alcool and freeze it for 1 month. Shake it periodically. Filter the alcool with coffe filter. Evaporate the alcool and mix it with oil. In my experience: 10 gr cannabis for each 30 ml oil.
Pros: apparently it preserves the terpenes (to be confirmed)
Cons: slightly more complicated
