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.
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!

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)
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 🇬🇧❤️🇦🇺
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.
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

So after everything is finished, the final product will be alcoholic ?
