I've used a Magical Butter machine to make a couple batches of alcohol based tincture. I used Everclear 190 proof and it's worked well when mixed in tea. I tried putting it under my tongue to speed up the absorption into my system, but 95% alcohol REALLY burns!
So...I'm going to try a batch with glycerin instead of alcohol and I have a couple of questions:
1) The alcohol tincture supposedly lasts indefinitely if refrigerated. What's the shelf life of glycerin based?
2) There was a lot of "sludge" that I just threw away. I thought of maybe putting it in gelatin capsules but figuerd since it was alcohol based, it would eat through the capsules. Would these be digestible? Seems a waste to toss it out.
Thanks
