Does anyone know where you can source alcohol to make your own tinctures? I am struggling to find anything in the UK.

I think you can use vodka, 40% alcohol would do it.

Ok - I shall go get vodka. Does anywhere still sell those tiny one shot bottles? I haven’t seen them in years

Hi, I’ve used apple cider vinegar too in the past, but can’t find the recipe anywhere! I think it was the same measurements.It doesn’t keep as long (6m in the fridge I think). xxx
