When do you not choose alcohol extraction?

Not sure whether something should be a tincture, tea, or something else? This is the place to talk through that decision.

When do you not choose alcohol extraction?

Post by huntergasaway »

Alcohol extracts are convenient and shelf-stable, and a lot of us default to tinctures because of that. But there are times when alcohol doesn’t feel like the right choice either because of the plant, the person, or the goal.

I’m curious how others decide when not to reach for alcohol.

Are there certain herbs you prefer as tea, glycerite, or oil infusion instead? Or situations where you avoid tinctures altogether?
