    so when you make a tincture, you always use a alcohol, never water? i am curious as to potency of doing this as compared to eating the plant. i am really new to this lol. also, would you be able to remove the alcohol by another means? instead of always having to drink the vodka to ingest the liquid of the plant.

    Hi~You can definitely make an infusion with water and that would be tea! There are various ways to ingest the healthy properties of herbs. You might come over to the Mountain Rose Herbs blog at mountainroseblog (dot) com and check out some of the blog posts including "Medicine Making Basics ~ Herbal Infusions" which should give you a good starting point! I hope this helps ~Kori

    How long does the tinctures last before you should throw out and make more?

    Hi Marilyn~The strength of alcohol you use will factor in, as well as the herbs used and how well they are strained, but, when stored in dark or brown glass, in a cool dark place, tinctures can last for two or three years. They will lose their potency if kept for longer than that. Thanks for the question ~Kori

    Hi~Thanks for the question! All you need to do is to pack your fresh or dried stevia leaf into the jar (filling about 2/3 of the way full) and cover with the alcohol.  Good luck! ~Kori

    Wow. I'm a customer who orders from you from time to time, or I'd rather say that you're in my top three of herbal distributors. It's really great to see you make a tutorial that the world can benefit from healthwise. Thanks, Mr. Mountainrose! :D
