My favorite way is to use the very highest proof you can find, grind and toast your bud, put it in the freezer, wait till frozen, add the frozen 'everclear' or whatever into your frozen bud and wait and wait. Some of the things that don't taste good in our bud are water soluable so keeping things in the freezer diminishes their bad taste. In about three weeks I have a light amber colored liquior that while is still very high in proof, it doesn't taste bad at all. Some of us don't have a problem with drinking it, but just don't drink very much! BTW organic vegtable glycerine can be heated up and used in foods too.
