WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.541 --> 00:00:05.291 Well, tinctures, in general, are nothing more 2 00:00:05.291 --> 00:00:07.400 than extractions made in alcohol. 3 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.083 That is, if you do it in alcohol. 4 00:00:09.083 --> 00:00:12.041 We normally use neutral spirits here, 5 00:00:12.041 --> 00:00:14.100 you can use grain spirits or vodka... 6 00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:18.000 Something that doesn't give you too much flavor, 8 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.791 so you can extract all the properties of your ingredient, 10 00:00:21.791 --> 00:00:24.100 which could be a herb, mushrooms, or even 11 00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:25.800 citrus peels. 12 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.333 Our tincture here at the restaurant has a twist. 14 00:00:30.333 --> 00:00:33.800 It goes through a fat wash, 16 00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:37.558 so it will have a predominantly mushroom flavor 18 00:00:37.558 --> 00:00:41.875 with a velvety texture from the butter.
