What tinctures result in midnight blue

This will break the cell membranes of the plant down so the plant constituents can be extracted more effectively.

Tincture Making: Part 1

Tinctures are herbs extracted into an alcoholic solution. They are created by soaking herbs (officially called the macerate) into an alcoholic liquid (officially called the menstruum).

This is done for a period of time to extract the medicinal properties of the herb into the liquid. They are then strained and the liquid is kept and the herb is discarded.

Why make a tincture?

Because alcohol is a preservative, tinctures are a great way to keep herbs for over a year.

They are also ‘easier’ to take. Instead of taking time to brew up an infusion three times a day, a measure of tincture can be added to cold water and drunk as needed.

Alcohol is also great for extracting a wide range of plant chemicals from that is easy for the body to digest and absorb.

How easy is it?

If you make tinctures professionally, they can become quite complicated if you want to be able to measure the amount of herb in the alcohol. There is a further mathematical ‘How to’ in the next section for those that really want to know.

This is because different compounds found in plants are extracted by using differing ratios of water to alcohol.

For instance, resins are poorly extracted in water but are extracted well in high percentages of alcohol. E.g. Frankincense and myrrh resin (Commiphora spp.) would be extracted in up to 90% alcohol. Tannins and mucilages another chemical are extracted well in lower alcohol percentage such as 30 or 40%.

For the purpose of preserving your own herbs and making your own tinctures at home, the process is very simple.

Your best friend is plain grain alcohol such as a 35%-50% ABV vodka. Vodka is best because it contains no flavour or additional ingredients. However, Sometimes brandy has also been traditionally used.
