Make Your Own Tinctures, Glycerites & Herbal Liquid Extracts

with Erin & Henrietta Cummings

In this workshop we will explain and demystify the process of making a tincture (a liquid herbal extract). We will work with both fresh aerial plant parts and dried roots, and go over the entire process of wildcrafting, harvesting, garbling, macerating, and extracting the end product. We will also discuss the medicinal compounds found in herbs and their solubility in alcohol, water, glycerin, apple cider vinegar, and the tools used in the tincture making process.

This is a hands-on tincture making workshop. Student participation is encouraged but not necessary. We will demonstrate several alternative tools and methods, and students will take home a sample from what we make in the demonstration.

Students will also leave with a detailed handout to use as a long-term reference at home.
