Hey.

I posted here last fall, and "alcohol in tinctures" was a topic discussed then. But I want to be sure about two things if I'm going to tincture with everclear (which I am):

1. Dropping the dosage in freshly boiled water (for tea) allows the alcohol to evaporate to a point where it shouldn't be a concern.

2. the potency of my tincture dose will not be effected.

I've added: Lavender, St.JW, Feverfew, Soapwart, Nettle, Ginkgo, Lemon Balm, Licorice and Marshmellow to my garden and I'll be tincuring them when their time comes (soaking Lavender and Lemon Balm now!)
