I love the fact that you're using creations from other episodes. Great video. Do you think the same process would work with Sage leaves? I recently went back to rewatch your "Make Your Own Lillet" episode. Very helpful. Keep up the great work you guys. 💚

💚 thank you for covering tinctures. Totr mentioned in his tinctures video that herbs tend to go bitter with high proof alcohol. Is 2 hours the max you would go for that reason? Cheers 🍻
@KevinKos
Сағат бұрын
No, the higher the alcohol, the more flavor extraction, so that's why it might feel a bit bitter because of all the chlorophyll. In this small amount in the recipe your cocktail shouldn't be affected.

Another amazing video. Thank you! Question: living in California means our access to high percentage/proof alcohol is restricted. Any ideas on how one can still accomplish what you’ve done here with this limitation in mind? Cheers!

Sadly I don't have enough expeirience with this technique tro give you the right answer. You can reach out to Velvet bar (link is in the description) and ask them since they use this technique for years.

How high does the ABV need to be? I can only get 75% here, not 95%. Would that work?

The higher the better. Try it out with 75%, it should be ok. It might turn brown faster, though.

I'm still on time for the last figs, so I don't have my vacuum here, but I may try to engineer something and make the fig tincture, which would be mainly used for cooking (mixing requires people willing to share the equipment and alcohol price lol) Did you try making a batch blanching the fig leaves? Was it different in any way? My [greenheart] can't wait to flavour some risotto / sauce with it!
@KevinKos

I haven't tried to blanch it since the high alcohol should put the chlorophyll to sleep. If you will do some testing with it, please report back. Thank you!

bitters have bittering agents which makes it bitter and tinctures are usually only one herb/spice infusion.

I am not sure about that since I didn't experiment with lower percentage of alcohol. Maybe you can reach out to the Velvet bar since they have much more experience doing this tincture.
