We are just starting to make tincture and treat some health issues and found this site and wonderful people while researching. My question is that in the recipe for making tinctures it instructs to freeze the mixture of everclear and MJ. What does freezing the everclear do to speeding up the extraction process? We have made limoncello before and much like making tinctures you let the lemon peel and juice soak in the everclear for three weeks, but with a tincture using freezing it only takes three days. Trying to understand this. :passitleft: :thanks:
 
By freezing the ethanol and mj it not only causes the water to freeze but it also "sublimates" out of the plant too. So by freezing it less water remains in the final product.
