When I was in Colorado I made three types. Honey, Glycerin, and Alcohol. Alcohol was by far the most potent but was hard to take alone. Its much better if the desired amount is diluted in something that you like to drink such as tea, juice, or soda. The alcohol tinctures can also be produced much faster than the others. This is of great concern when you have patients that need a steady supply of tinctures.

ps. If you have a bottle of alcohol tincture that just cant be taken for any reason you should pour it out in a pan and let the alcohol evaporate. Once it does you can smoke the residue that is left.
