- Making extracts from herbs is the latest homestead project in my have a go homesteader series. Here we are using alcohol to make a herb tincture of mint extract. Herb extracts can be medicinal or just for flavour!

thank you, got so much mint in my garden, now i have some ideas how to use it up! off to the garden I go
I have an abundance of lemon balm at the moment so I might try this with that!! Great idea,thanks!
Thanks Jac 👍😊
Great idea using garden mint. I have made both vodka elderberry tincture and brandy elderberry tincture this year. Both taste amazing and is basically nature's medicine. ( a teaspoon each morning.) Thanks for the video.
You’re very welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
Wow, awesome. Mint sauce comes to mind.. sounds great
Cheers Shannon 👍😊
Great vid! Thank You.
Great info Carl. Another one on our ever expanding list of things to try! 👍
So simple too 😊
Great video Carl. Loving your have a go series. I want to try a chaga tincture but need to find some high strength alcohol.
Thanks so much! I’m enjoying making them too!
That was fun! I think that extract would make a great Christmas gift for anyone who likes to make things in the kitchen! Also another use you might like for a natural oil tincture would be in a diffuser - we have one going in our bed room right now for a Christmas tree scent. Makes the holidays brighter!

What a great idea!! 👍😊
Brilliant idea that might help keep the Aussie flies away in my kitchen 😀🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺
@ Self SH, great content. How long is this good for ie; shelf life. In addition, can you make elderberry tincture with demonstratioon. Thx
l I have a lot of mint growing in the garden before it dies off I'll give the tinctuer a go thanks carl👍
Let me know how you get on 👍😊
Just found you! ❤️ Just subbed can't wait to check out your other vids and no offence to our American cousins your English! Just a bit more relatable - it's almost Summer in Australia so my mind is everywhere - so are the flies! As a migrant from UK I have never got used to them ,- those the ants and the flipping spiders! Will make the tincture to try to keep the ants at bay wish me luck! Looking forward to being a Subby and sharing vids with family and friends. Best wishes and positive vibes from Sydney Australia 🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺
What kind of Vodka & how much percent please , thank you for the video 💐, I like mint a lotttt
So after everything is finished, the final product will be alcoholic ?
How long could this tincture stay before expired.
So r he easy way...stick the whole mint stem in the blender with the vodka and then put it in a jar. Over time I use a filter to get the floaties out and it becomes clear (not vodka clear but clear of sediment)
Nice tip thanks
Thanks for your content, love the energy. I do have a question, I feel like by the end of the process you end up with mint flavored vodka. Is there any way to isolate the two so that you have a purely mint extract that you can add into foods without having the vodka too?
I'm seeing that for non-alcoholic extracts, you can substitute the alcohol with three parts food-grade liquid glycerin and one part water mixed well. I just tried it, so I won't know how well that works for a couple of months yet.
Is it ok to was it off first
Yes! 😊👍
