Inside the Free Tincture Series
Three step-by-step lessons and one practical tool you can return to whenever you make a batch.
01
Video 1 — The Folk Method · 11:49
Make a dried chamomile tincture from jar to bottle. Learn what you need, how much to use, how to take what you make, and the first-24-hours mistake that can quietly ruin a batch.
02
Video 2 — Alcohol-Free Glycerites · 15:46
Learn two ways to make an herbal glycerite: the simple folk method with a hot-water bath and the more precise weight-to-volume method. Selima also explains when glycerin makes sense, the shelf-stability rule you need to know, and how a decoction can strengthen your extraction.
03
Video 3 — The Percolation Method · 16:00
See the complete 24-hour percolation process—from herb preparation and tincture math to flow rate and troubleshooting. Learn how percolation differs from maceration and when to choose one method over another.
04
Interactive Tincture Batch Calculator
Enter your herb weight, herb-to-menstruum ratio, starting alcohol percentage, and target alcohol percentage. The calculator gives you your total menstruum and the exact amounts of alcohol and water required.
