could this extract be used to make a tincture?

Maybe I could answer your question better if you briefly explained how you make a tincture. Perhaps I am doing this already...?

I don't see why not. It's really fine powder and tastes pretty good; I've been eating it straight every morning since getting it. Probably soak it down in some grain alcohol or mix it into a suspension, both should be effective methods.

This product is not really extracted. Let me explain. In herbology, adding dried herbs to alcohol will create a tincture because the cellulose of the plant disintegrates in the alcohol, setting the bio-active components free. Not with mushrooms, though, mushrooms have a chitin cellular structure, not cellulose, like plants have. Chitin doesn't degrade in alcohol. The amount of bioactive components that become bioavailable in a mushroom tincture is minimal. The best extracts are powdered and have been dual extracted (hot water and alcohol). These can also guarantee a specific percentage of the bioactives - unlike tinctures.

It would be difficult to say because the package doesn't come with much information. We use this to add maple flavor rather than to make syrup.

I use it as a herbal extract for the cancer fighting ellagic acid that it contains. I fell it would be excellent and healthy for baking, also.

Well, it depends what it is used for the root herb is ingested and the extract says it was formulated for soap and cosmetics, both are licorice plants just different parts.

I'm not entirely sure. I think it is for aromatherapy, not for consumption (which I think you'd need it to be if you put it on your lips). I don't think it is like vanilla extract. You might contact the manufacturer to make sure.

I don't see why not, just make sure you use a tealight and trim the wick... i didn't have tealights when i first got it and tried to use a small candle and it just made the pot all sooty and went out.

It's a more potent form of anise than anise extract. I use it in baking Vasilopita, a Greek bread. It's not infused. Used to use anise extract and Ouzo to get that flavoring. Love it, but you need to use it sparingly.

All I know is that on the bottle, it says the extract is made "using superior vanilla beans from the orchid species, Vanilla planifolia". I hope this helps.

I don't see why not, I use it in my scentsy pot, heated aroma plug in, and witchhazel. Pretty safe I think ;)

I wouldn't think so as it contains oyster extract, otherwise all the other ingredients are all natural.

Yes, because it is a natural-derived extract. You can use it for cooking, but if it was me. They do sell almond oil for cooking. If you want you can just get the one for cooking. Although yes u can use it for cooking.

I see no reason why not. It's very strong oil, so a little would go a long long way.

I use vodka with amazing results. And I use the cheapest stuff I can find. I think that it is better in this application. I let my extract sit and infuse for quite a while and I have had many people say it is the best they have ever had.

Absolutely! Pure naphthalene will suit all of your solvent extraction needs :) just be sure to let it air dry (fans are nice). Yay for living in a country where we can legally discuss such things so as to prevent any risk involved in otherwise dangerous chemical processes! God bless America.

I haven't tried it, but I do not think it would be good for that. As in all vanilla extract it is made with alcohol (bourbon, I think), and that smell is noticeable. You would smell like you had been on a bender.
