Hey that sounds interesting, can you tell me more about it and how you do it? I loooooooooove coffee, and if it got me high, I bet I'd like that too
I vape dry herb, which gives me ABV.
I collect an eighth or so, drop it into an iced tea bag, put that into a 600ml beaker, smother it in Big Red 190 (half the $ of Everclear) and let sit overnight.
In the morning (and for dayz after) I draw off 5-10cc’s, drop it in a mug, do pour over to taste and add cream to bind the THC and make it digestible.
Solid 10/10.
Sorry for the wall’o’text, hope it helps.
I'm sure the coffee covers most of the abv taste but if you water cure it first the resulting tincture tastes way better. I use a French press and agitate with the plunger, change water then agitate some more for 4 or 5 cycles until the water is clean looking then dry. Seems like more work than it is and the extracts or edibles I make taste way better.
I have not done this in the past because, as you said, it seemed like a lot of extra work. As you outlined it though, using the FP, seems pretty ez and def worth trying. Question. Do you “assist” the drying, i.e. low heat convection oven or just let it dry over time?
I just let it dry. I usually use mine to put in baked goods so I if it's still a little damp it doesn't matter. For tincture I'd think fan, low temp oven or whatever would be ideal. It gets pretty dry just with the press and then I use paper towels to squeeze some more. I favor a coarser grind which helps so ymmv in that respect.
