I do my elixer differently, what I get is a nutty flavored emerald green tincture ( yep getting some chlorophyll)…but it knocks your socks off and is a good medication dosage..
So I actually use green fresh material, finely chopped- decarbed @ 240 for about an hour in a closed pan- then let it cool within that closed pan without taking off the top.
Then put it into about 2-4 oz ( dependingon how much material there is) of 100 proof alcohol and heat it in a wet bath at around 150 ( so there is little evaporation but plenty of extraction going on). I leave it on til the material looks like straw- then strain it and bottle it up.
The Longer it sits the better it gets…
I tried several recipes for green dragon- but like any good recipe, it took practice and my own little tweeks to get just what I wanted- so take what you like, leave the rest…
Can't wait to hear how it turns out!
crystaliscious Reviewed by crystaliscious on . extraction question hello forums family ! so I think I get the basics you put plant matter into a container ... then put denatured alco in container.... now here is the trick I don't understand do I let it sit or do I strain the mixture under pressure ?? I have a friend that says to take all my plant matter and put it in a mason jar then dump in denatured alcohol, let it sit for awhile, then strain out all the juices and let all the juices dry up so the alco evaporates leaving behind a tarish powder to Rating: 5
