Ingredients
- 240ml food-grade vegetable glycerin
- Source material (amount calculated by BatchCraft)
- Mason jar with tight-fitting lid
- Cheesecloth and fine mesh strainer
- Dark dropper bottles for storage
How to Make It
- 1Decarboxylate: Preheat oven to 115°C / 240°F. Break source material into small pieces, spread on parchment, bake 35-40 minutes.
- 2Combine: Place decarbed material in a mason jar. Pour glycerin over it until fully covered, stirring to remove air bubbles.
- 3Extract: Seal tightly. Store in a warm, dark place for 4-8 weeks. Shake vigorously every day or two.
- 4Strain: Filter through cheesecloth, then fine mesh. Glycerin is thick, so this takes patience. Squeeze gently.
- 5Bottle: Transfer to dark dropper bottles. Label with potency per dose, date, and storage instructions.
Pro Tips
- ★Glycerin is less efficient than alcohol — using conservative efficiency estimates avoids overestimating potency.
- ★Speed up extraction with the slow cooker method: combine in a jar inside a slow cooker with water on low for 24-48 hours.
- ★Glycerin tinctures have a shorter shelf life than alcohol — refrigerate and use within 6 months.
Serving Ideas
Place under the tongue and hold for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. Add to tea, juice, or smoothies. The sweet taste makes it easy to take straight.
