Learn the art of percolation. Percolation is a method of making superior quality tinctures, the process of which can be completed in less than two days (rather than 2+ weeks as with other tincturing methods). In this hands-on workshop, Jessy will take you through the step-by-step process of making high quality percolations. We will discuss the pros and cons of percolation method vs maceration or tradtional ticturing methods. We will discuss which herbs are best suited for percolation. We will also demo how to make your own percolation cones and give you one to take home. Please bring a calculator. Please note, this workshop is for those with some basic herbal experience and basic medicine making knowledge.
