You gave very clear and precise explanations for both syrups and tinctures. Thank you ... looking forward to more

Can you use whiskey

[@documentingsimpleliving]

You can use any 80 proof alcohol. I like vodka because it has the most neutral flavour.

Can you make them together instead of separately?

[@documentingsimpleliving]

You can do anything you want, but from what I’ve read the reason that it's not commonly done like that is to be able to control how much of each tincture you will have in your final blend. I think people usually make two (or three or twenty) separate tinctures, and then blend the tinctures together after they’re strained to make a brew that is supportive of their immune system or whatever they are trying to address. By making these separately you have the option to blend 3 parts elderberry with 1 part echinacea for example. But again it’s up to you
