If you’re looking to create a high-quality herbal oil concentrate from your tincture you’ve come to the right place. This simple process transforms your tincture into a warm, maple syrup-like concentrate that can be stored and used efficiently. Follow our step-by-step guide below to make concentrated herbal oil safely and effectively at home.
WHAT IS CONCENTRATED HERBAL OIL?
It is a thick, syrupy concentrate derived from a tincture. This process reduces the tincture to a more potent and versatile form, perfect for various uses.
Commonly used in vape pens and dabs, it can also be incorporated into edibles, topicals, or infused into carrier oils for broader application.
Additionally, it provides a more concentrated and efficient way to utilize herbal extracts in a variety of methods.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED :
To get started, gather these essential materials:
1. Herbal Tincture – Strained to remove plant material
2. Non-stick saucepan – Prevents sticking and ensures even heating
3. Heat source – Stovetop or other controlled heat source
4. Stirring utensil – Silicone is highly recommend to avoid any loss as the extract will stick onto wooden kitchenware.
5. Dark glass container – Amber or cobalt glass preferred for storage
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. STRAIN YOUR TINCTURE Before starting, ensure your herbal tincture is properly strained to remove any plant material. This helps achieve a smoother, cleaner concentrate.
2. TRANSFER TO A SAUCEPAN Pour the strained tincture into a non-stick saucepan. Using a non-stick surface helps prevent the concentrate from burning or sticking.
3. APPLY LOW HEAT Place the saucepan on low heat and slowly bring the liquid to a boil. It’s crucial to keep a close eye on it to avoid overheating.
4. SIMMER AND STIR Let the tincture simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Stirring ensures even heat distribution and prevents scorching.
5. CHECK THE CONSISTENCY Over time, the tincture will reduce and thicken into a warm, syrup-like consistency. Once it reaches this stage, remove it from the heat and let it cool for one minute.
6. STORE IN A DARK GLASS CONTAINER Carefully pour your MBO concentrate into a dark glass container to protect it from light exposure. Seal the container tightly to preserve freshness.
