I’ve really enjoyed the green dragon tincture recipe that @ReikoX posted here, but have been curious to try other methods that can get me the higher potency, without having to boil off extra alcohol. I predominantly use my already vaped weed as my decarbed bud, and find that it really is necessary to do the boil off, to get the potency where i wanted, but recently tried another method, and wanted to share for those that may be interested in a lazier solution without the need for the double boiler.
I started with my decarbed weed, and poured over alcohol in a ball jar until it filled just over the weed. I did my shaking for five minutes, and then let sit for a day. The following day, the decarbed weed had condensed itself, leaving more room in the liquid available. I added in additional decarbed weed until it reached the level of liquid, shook for five minutes, let sit for a day, and then repeated this a third time. After the third time, I strained out the weed from the alcohol, and then ran through a coffee filter. I found this product to be very strong, where one dropper did the trick, and I didn’t need to condense it any further. Ultimately, this is a less clean product as I did not leverage the freezer, so there is more chlorophyll in it, but I think it overall saves me some high proof alcohol, which I have to have shipped from Colorado, as we cannot purchase directly in California.
Apparently not every one carries it, but I know where now!
