Tinctures are medicinal extracts of herbs in alcohol. Tinctures are often made with moonshine or similarly high-test liquors, but vodka, rum, and even brandy can work well. I tend to most often use a medium shelf triple distilled vodka for the tinctures I craft for my household. When I have it on hand, I like to use moonshine or other high proof booze for tincturing roots or resins.
