tincture advice please!
« on: May 02, 2012, 08:08:35 PM »
Does anyone have advice on making tinctures using extra tinctures already made? As in, I have a ton of milky oats tincture which I don't imagine I'll ever use, and ended up needing to dry some horehound after transplating some near y house-can I simply make horehound tincture with the extra milky oats? I can't think of a reason why not, but thought I'd ask you wise women out there...

Were you thinking of using the wild oats tincture as your menstrum to tincture the horehound?  I want to make sure I'm understanding correctly.

Since Milky Oats has a mild flavor and is nutritive, gentle, supportive this would be fine.  I probably wouldn't do it if the menstrum had a really intense action or taste, but in this case it would work.

Best,
