HOW TO MAKE HYDROGLYCERIN PLANT EXTRACTS
VEGETABLE GLYCERIN WITH A BOOST!
Hydroglycerin extracts aka glycerites are a great alternative to alcohol-based tinctures, another way to extract and preserve your herbs, aromatic and other plant material. Hydroglycerin extracts are made of fresh or sometimes dried beneficial or aromatic plants, macerated in spring water and vegetable glycerin mixture. They are also extremely useful in the preparation of creams, cosmetics, and soaps.
Make sure your herbs or plant material are clean. Use a water/glycerin mixture as a maceration solvent:
- If using dried herbs use 75% vegetable glycerin for 25% of spring water - the higher the percentage of glycerin, the better the macerate can be preserved even in the absence of preservatives (above 50-60% glycerin).
- If using fresh herbs/plant material, use 100% vegetable glycerin.
- Method:
- Chop your dry herbs/plant material well.
- Fill a glass jar ½ way with dried plants, 2/3 way with fresh plants.
- In a separate bowl, combine our 100% natural Vegetable Glycerin with spring water to make the maceration medium/solvent according to dry or fresh material. Mix and Shake.
- Pour the maceration mixture to over the plants. The solvent must cover the plants completely and to the brim.
- Close your jar hermetically, label with all information on plant, ratio, and date.
- Agitate daily, for 4-6 weeks.
- Strain, filter (Tee-shirt or cheesecloth), pour in dark glass bottles and label.
- This type of macerate can be used up to 5 to 10% in your preparations (glycerites shelf life is 1 to 2 years)
