Edibles Continued: Vegetable Glycerine and Alcohol Tincture Recipes

Vegetable Glycerine Tincture

What you need:

• Cannabis (1g+ cannabis /oz glycerine)
• Food-grade glycerin
• Flavorings (optional)
• Crock Pot
• Cheese Cloth
• Rubber Band
• Measuring cup
• Bottles - dropper bottles, roller bottles, amber dropper bottles, etc

Directions:

Step 1:
Pour your glycerin in the crock pot and mix in cannabis as well as any additional flavoring you may add

Step 2:
Cover, turn pot on low and cook for 8 hours stirring occasionally

Step 3:
Turn off crock pot. Once the mixture is cooler, take your cheese cloth and rubber band and secure it over your measuring cup.

Step 4: Strain your mixture through the cheese cloth. Once it drains squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can

**Strained plant material can then be put into capsules for even more use from the cannabis.

Alcohol Tincture

What you need:

• A flat pot that can hold about 2 inches of water
• High proof alcohol, the higher the better. (consumable alcohol)
• Cannabis (3.5 grams fresh) or vaped remains (7 grams)
• A small jar or bottles
• A cooking thermometer
• A filtering device – coffee filters work great
• Something to dump the filtered liquid into (jar, bowl, etc.)

Green Dragon Tincture (Fresh Cannabis)
For Green Dragon, it is best to use about an eighth of cannabis (3.5 grams) with 2 ounces of your high grade alcohol. You’ll need to decarb the cannabis before continuing. Once decarbed, continue with Golden Dragon steps.

Golden Dragon (Vaped Cannabis)
Step 1: Fill up the pan with about 2 inches of water and begin to boil it

Step 2: In the jar, mix about 7 grams of vaporized remains with 3.5-4 ounces of the alcohol

Step 3: Place the jar in the boiling water and maintain the temperature of the Cannabis/rum mixture at 170°F for 20 minutes – you want the mixture to simmer but not boil fast

Step 4: Remove mixture and strain out the liquid into a bottle or jar
