This method allows you to "wash" the wonderful flavor profile terpenes and cannabinoids, binding it to the alcohol and "washing" it off the plant matter. If you are looking to really maximize food flavors or medicinal benefits, this method is a great way to go. Keep this alcohol on hand for secondary staple infusions or to convert to Full Extract Canna Oil (FECO) concentrate.
WARNING: INFUSING CANNABIS INTO ALCOHOL PACKS A POWERFUL PUNCH! USE SPARINGLY WHEN ADDING TO COCKTAILS, WINE OR BEER.
