Personally, I'm really not a fan of sweet baked goods with the ABV taste.
Perhaps a water-cure of the ABV would deal with that issue though.
I find peanutbutter masks it very well.
You could infuse a big batch of peanutbutter and then add it to sandwiches or smoothies whenever you want. Or just take straight spoonfulls with some jelly
I also have multiple ounces of ABV sitting around. It's gotten to the point where I just want to see how much I can accumulate. Probably pretty silly of me.

You can't really make green dragon tincture with ABV... you can however make what we call swamp water. Soaking the ABV in Everclear (or high proof vodka) for a little while, strain and bottle.
You can consume as is or you can reduce like a sauce on stove to put the tincture into a hard candy recipe...thread here in cooking section.
An easy way to enjoy it is to make a few firecrackers.
Alternatively you can make a glycerin tincture that will be more palatable than swamp water...like weedy flavored honey.
So many things you can do with it
As far as the butter you can use it with anything. If you don't want to do sweets you can saute veggies in it, roast chicken with it, mix it in mashed potatoes. Just be careful how much you take in at once lol.

Thanks fellas, PeanutButter sounds like a great idea; I just have not yet found anything that ABV tastes palpable with.
ROTF- I never knew it was called Swamp Water! That sounds about right. It tastes more like Dirty Shoe Water.
I tried this once and what I produced was so awful, I let my buddies have most of it... used home-brew moonshine. The shine I started with was great, the end product was not.
I am going to go diving through the cooking threads

All I've ever done before with abv is make butter/oil (with duff), and re-vaped the lighter stuff.
I just took a full quart mason jar of abv and poured 750ml of everclear over it.
It all saturated, my plan is to agitate it a bit once in a while overnight.
For straining my plan is to press the liquid through cheesecloth,
then go through a coffee filter to remove finer particulates.
Then reduce the result until somewhat thick...
What about mixing the final result with honey for added palatability?
Also what about mixing in the 99% iso that I have from cleaning vapes before straining/reducing?
Would this affect ingestibility since it's a different kind of alcohol?

chillin on the couch, sippin off a 22 ounce.
I had around four ounces of duff and finally got around to making butter with it. Didn't expect much, but let me tell you it was some really mind-bending shit.
I've since made cannabutter using existing cannabutter (generational cannabutter I suppose?) and that takes away most of the anxiety/psychoactive effects being much more like a crushing Indica stone instead: bloodshot eyes, barely cracked open... ohhh yeah.
I've been falling asleep damn near passing out at 7:30(!)pm lately with this latest batch I'd made with a one pound per pound ratio. Super strong stuff!!

Phew! Yeah, ISO is a HUGE NO for ingestion.
Not sure about honey making it more palatable. Generally swamp water tastes bad and trying to mix it with liquids to me has just resulted in me needing to drink more nasty tasting liquids. In hot beverages there is less loss clinging to glass but I've never found a good way to drink it.
I turn my tincture into hard candies or I make Glycerin tincture.
I've found nylon tea strainers or stainless FINE strainers work best for me with less loss of product compared to cheesecloth and coffee filters.

Wow, 30 days... Yeah, that is a bit long for soaking ABV. I only soak mine for a few hours before straining. The alcohol extracts well and quickly and ABV already decarbed so no need for a long soak. Of course it still isn't going to taste great lol...but it's quite effective

Why in the freezer?

Cause ice cold was the only way I could stomach it!
....sitting in the freezer probably has little affect on the quality as far as I know.

Since you have that much you could make some bubble hash with it.
You just need bubble bags ice, water and about an hour of your time.
Heres a link to the bags

Really with abv? I thought you had to use green for that.

Ive done it with alot of avb like 6 ounzes or so probably got back about 10 grams. Nothings crazy but it lasted me a while. It all just depends on how much you vape your shit i usually stop when mines still a little yellow.
Probably not the most effective way i jus like hash lol

So I over-reduced my end product, and this is what I ended up with.
750 ml of everclear came out to an 8 oz. cup or so, which I reduced in a ss frying pan on an electric burner. It was thick, I turned it off and it cooled to the point that I had to heat it up again to finish scraping it off. It's pliable like sublimate, I held some to an open flame and it did not ignite so I decided it was dabbable. And I put some through my apollo head and dabbed it.
Verdict: not so bad if you're out of flowers. I believe I will do some more, it's for science...
I didn't burn it, so I could theoretically re-hydrate it by heating it back up and adding some booze, perhaps dark rum or jagermeister for flavor. Anyways what do you guys think, would you dab this stuff?

If you dab with an e-cig style pen with a coil the sugars left from the Everclear may gunk up your coils a bit faster than normal. I think most of the alcohol is gone so vaping alcohol isn't a concern.
You can def. rehydrate with Everclear if need be as mentioned. Not sure I'd dab it but don't see a big red flag. Perhaps put a little in an herb sandwich in a standard vape... Let us know how it goes.

Here's what I ended up with:
I threw the jar in the toaster oven for a bit, put some in my dab jar^, then added the last few drops of the strained 8 oz. and a shot or so of pomegranate liquor because that's what was open. Still tasted like complete crap so at that point I added a couple of big globs of raw manuka honey.
Now it's barely palatable. I noticed while I was reducing it that some solids had formed, so if the liquid stays liquid as it cools I will try straining it again then putting it into a dropper bottle.
