How Do You Make Extracts Without Alcohol Or Glycerin?
One way to make extracts without alcohol or glycerin is by using a carrier oil such as coconut, jojoba, or olive oil. The process involves infusing the herbs or plants into the carrier oil over a period of time until the desired strength and flavor is achieved. This method is known as an oil infusion and is commonly used for making herbal oils and salves. Another way is by using water, where the herbs or plants are steeped in water and then reduced by simmering until the desired strength of the extract is achieved. However, this method may not extract all the beneficial compounds from the herbs or plants as compared to alcohol or glycerin extraction.
