Choosing the Right Alcohol Solvent for Tinctures

Herbal tinctures, prized for their concentrated herbal extracts, require a suitable alcohol solvent to extract medicinal compounds effectively. Here's what you need to know:

Best Alcohol Solvents

The ideal alcohol solvent for tinctures typically has a proof of 80 or higher, ensuring efficient extraction of herbal properties. Common choices include vodka or spirits, offering a balance between potency and preservation of herbal benefits.

Ethyl alcohol stands out as a top choice due to its ability to extract and preserve minerals and active constituents from plant materials. When using ethyl alcohol, ensure a minimum alcohol content of 25% to extract all beneficial components effectively.

Some herbalists prefer high-proof alcohol for its superior ability to extract constituents from plants with tough cell walls. High-proof alcohol, with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of at least 80%, is recommended for optimal extraction of medicinal compounds and desirable cannabinoids from fresh plant material.

Alternative Solvents

While alcohol is the preferred solvent for tinctures, other options like glycerine or vinegar may not extract plant materials as effectively. Brandy or vodka can be used as well, but neutral alcohol is often preferred due to its high-proof content and neutral flavour.

Choosing the Right Alcohol Strength

For best results, opt for high-proof alcohol with an ABV of 95% or higher. This ensures a longer shelf life for the tincture and preserves its potency effectively. When making tinctures, maintain a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of fresh plant material to solvent for optimal extraction.

Additional Considerations

Ensure you use a reputable brand of alcohol that lists its ABV on the label for accurate measurement. Avoid using vinegar or glycerine as solvents, as they may affect the flavour and efficacy of the tincture.
