A “tincture” is an extraction of active compounds from plant material that uses alcohol as a solvent. Active ingredients in herbs are more easily extracted by alcohol than by other liquids such as glycerin, vinegar or heat. If alcohol cannot be used, alternatives, such as apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar, are used.

Tips
Prepare the tincture carefully per the specifications, and store it in an airtight, dark-colored container. Keep the container at or below room temperature. It is okay to store the tincture in the refrigerator, but be sure to label the jars clearly in order to prevent family members from inadvertently drinking the contents. Avoid using plastic containers. The ethanol in the tincture may solubilize some of the free vinyl substances in the plastic, causing PBA might leak out. Never use stainless steel containers for long-term storage.
