About this Event
Acetic tinctures (most often made with vinegar) are one of the most underrated tools in a home apothecary. They’re approachable, versatile, and deeply rooted in traditional herbal practice—especially for everyday wellness routines.
In this one-hour workshop, we’ll break down what acetic tinctures are, why herbalists use them, and what they’re best used for. Then we’ll move into a guided, hands-on portion where you’ll create your own acetic tincture to take home.
This is the perfect intro for beginners—and a beautiful refresher for anyone who wants a more practical, “use it daily” approach to herbalism.
What you’ll learn
- What an acetic tincture is (and how it differs from alcohol tinctures, glycerites, teas, and infusions)
- Why herbalists choose vinegar as a menstruum (and when it shines)
- Where acetic tinctures fit in a wellness routine, including:
- Digestive + bitters-style support
- Mineral-rich herbal preparations (nourishing, food-like herbalism)
- Daily tonics that pair well with meals
- The basics: choosing herbs, ratios, prep, labeling, steep time, storage, and how to use it consistently
You’ll leave with
- Your finished acetic tincture
- Confidence in how to create and use acetic tinctures for your home use.
This workshop is perfect for you if…
- You’re building a home apothecary and want skills
- You prefer alcohol-free preparations (or want both options in your toolkit)
- You want an herbal routine that’s practical and repeatable
- You love learning the “why” behind plant medicine
