Other herbalist friends wouldn’t think of making a tinc- ture in anything other than brandy. Pharmacists and homeopaths make their tinctures in pure grain alcohol (198 proof).
I suggest 100 proof vodka because it is readily avail- able and fairly inexpensive, clear, and exactly half water and half alcohol. Most books which give recommenda- tions on dosages of tinctures assume that the tincture you are using is a 50% tincture: that is half water and half alcohol. Preparing a tincture in 100 proof vodka eliminates the need to do fancy math to determine the correct dose.
