A very potent tincture can be made by using 1 oz flower to fill a 1 fl oz tincture bottle.
(1) Decarb 1 oz herb @ 240 F for 40 minutes. Ardent Lift/Nova works well for this.
(2) Grind to fine powder for a medicinal tincture (break into pieces for a recreational tincture).
(3) Soak in 1-1.5 cup 190 proof everclear for minutes, hours, days, or weeks with frequent shaking (use freezer cold everything and fast rinses for a recreational tincture).
I soak for 2 days at room temp on a continuously running stirrer hot plate. Magical Butter Machine is also good for this.
(4) Let the sediment settle (about 30 min or so), then filter thru coffee filters. Graduated cylinders are excellent for doing this.
(5) Add 1/2 cup more alcohol to the remaining sludge, shake vigorously, let settle, and strain into the previously strained liquid.
(6) Repeat step (5) with 1/4 cup alcohol. This 3rd soak should pick up almost all the medicine.
(7) Reduce the alcohol volume to 30 mL (careful boiling with good ventilation, or evaporation), and put into a tincture bottle. Green Oil Machine alcohol distiller or a clone from walmart works well for this.
An oil tincture can be made by removing all the alcohol, and replacing it with 30 mL of any oil.
The strength for good 15% thc herb in a 1000 drop tincture bottle will be
Potency = (0.15)*(28,000 mg)/(1000 drop) = 4.2 mg/drop
A size 00 cap can hold about 30 drops of this, or about 120 mg thc.
I suspect without proof that alcohol tinctures are better absorbed sublingually, but burn like hell.
I like to make both oil and alcohol tinctures, but prefer oil.
There is no need for any infusion into anything else, and either alcohol or oil tincture is well absorbed by the body.
Of course, any fraction of this recipe, or multiples of it, can be done.
Im gonna try decarb 2g of weed tommorrow in a turkey bag see if it still smells the house out while the missus is at work
Would this be ok does anyone think

DO NOT Use isopropyl alcohol!!!!Just to throw a curveball in, and I have no idea regarding the availability in the likes of the USA, those crazy Dutch people have created a nice little toy to make your oil called the Cannolator.
Basically, you put 20g of bud/trim in a tube, add 120ml of Everclear, the tube then sits in a baby bottle warmer for 2 hours and in the end you have around 2g of pure oil. All decarbing, etc, is done by the device, you literally turn it on and go and do something else with no worries.
Ok, you don't make much at a time but for simplicity I don't think it can be beaten so maybe it's worth looking at.
