Zero Proof Tinctures

[Shelby TuckerStudent]

Hello all, I am a recovering alcoholic and have a zero abv rule (no komucha or other drinks with less than 5% alc). My question is, is there ways to make tinctures 0 proof so that I don’t risk compromising my sobriety?

Hi Shelby, good on you, I know it can be hard. I would look at doing a glycerite instead of a tincture. There are ways of doing tinctures and burning off the alcohol before you consume it, but you’d still have to make the tincture with the booze, so I would avoid it altogether and go the glycerite way.
