Hey all,
I was pretty fired up to try and make a tincture and have been reading up on it for a while, I thought I had found what I needed in this cold method where you just add alcohol and herb and toss it in the freezer for a couple weeks. Seemed simple enough...
I red a bit more and realized, although debateable, most people agree you need to decarbolize your medecine before you make the tincture. I didn't realize this and skipped that part.
My question is, could I put what I have in the freezer into a crockpot on high for 10 min and get the same decarbolization results as I would from the oven?
Also, anyone have any comments on if this is a necessary steo or overkill? Also, would it be effective to just mix glycerin and herb in a crockpot? Again would you need to decarbolize first?
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
