Master Wu’s Green Dragon Tincture Recipe

This guide was first published in 2006 on cannabis.com and is one of the most comprehensive tincture recipes available online, with detailed instructions and excellent tips and tricks. Master Wu’s recipe differs from the traditional method in that it uses heat to speed up the extraction and concentration process. Unlike the traditional method, you’ll be finished with this recipe in an evening. Below you’ll find an abridged summary of the technique.

1. Decarboxylate your flower or extract (if you’re using flower, grind it to a fine consistency)
2. Mix your flower or extract in a mason jar with high-proof alcohol (preferably Everclear)
3. Simmer the jar in a water bath for 20 minutes at 170 degrees F
4. Strain the mixture and store
