Reishi Mushroom- Tincture
My notes:
Make reishi separately in (1) high alcohol (70%), and (2) water; then mix half and half. The best way is this 2-step process (use with any of the immune-modulating plants and mushrooms): Decoct herb 1st and use that as the water part of the alcohol extract. Reuse the marc like feeding a culture. Or, make alcohol tincture 1st, then decoct marc.

Here’s what I’m doing: Ground 15 g dried reishi in coffee grinder, put in jar (jar was half full). Added vodka to fill jar completely. Blended until mushy. I’m letting it sit for about 6 weeks. Then I’ll decoct the marc and add it to the menstruum. Since vodka is only 40% alcohol, I’ll probably cook the marc down to very little liquid. Maybe down to 5% of the menstruum.
