  • Homemade CBD Tincture (From Isolate) – Easy ‘How To’ Guide!

    Click Here For Short-Form Video Guide

    I love CBD tinctures, they help me get through my days. However, they can get a bit expensive, which is why I started buying isolates and making my own tinctures at home instead. Here’s how I do it!

    But first, let me do a little math. My favorite, most effective CBD tincture was This One from Mellow Moose. With 3000mg per bottle, and 100mg per dose, this tincture gave me 30 days of doses for $50, or $1.66 per day.

    Buying Organic CBD Isolate from Mellow Moose, I get 20 grams (20,000mg!) for $60 per jar. At my dose of 100mg per day, this isolate gives me 200 days of doses for just $10 more, or $0.30 per day. This can save a lot of money, almost $500 a year!

    So, let’s get into it.

    Note: This process is the same whether you’re using CBD, CBG, or CBN isolate. No changes necessary!

    The Only Ingredients I use are:

    And I’ll be using:

    • A Stove
    • A Mason Jar
    • A Pot of Water
    • A Digital Scale (0.00g)
    • A Digital Thermometer – Like This One (Optional, but strongly encouraged.)

    Step 1:

    Mix 3 grams of CBD isolate (3000mg)and 30ml of MCT Oil (about 2 tablespoons)in a mason jar, and shake it well for ~30 seconds.

    This ratio of 1000mg isolate : 10ml oil gives us 100mg per 1ml dose, but you can customize this to your preferred dose or amount.

    Chunks of isolate will still be visible, and that’s okay. They’ll melt into the oil in the next steps.

    Step 2:

    Fill a pot with enough water to cover the isolate and oil mix, but not enough to submerge the jar.

    Then, put the the pot on the stove over low heat. Make sure the jar is in the pot of water before heat is applied, as putting a colder jar into warmer water can cause the jar to shatter.

    Let the water reach 140-150°F, then let the jar sit in that temp for about 20 minutes. A digital thermometer is very helpful for this stage, but if you don’t have one, 140-150°F should be just under simmering.

    Step 3:

    After 20 minutes, remove the jar from the water and shake the jar for another 30 seconds. The isolate should be fully melted and combined into the MCT oil now.

    Let the tincture sit for around 20 minutes to cool down.

    Step 4: (optional)

    Once cooled, I use a funnel to transfer the tincture into an old Mellow Moose tincture bottle I had lying around. It’s perfectly built for it, with a dropper cap for dosing, and dark glass to stop sunlight from harming the product.

    If you don’t have these bottles laying around, you can just leave it in the jar you made it in, and dose directly from it. A 1ml dropper would still be ideal for dosing, but if you don’t have one, you can eyeball it using a teaspoon, knowing that 5ml = 1 teaspoon.

    I hope this helps someone save some money on this medicine! I love this stuff, and to be able to make it so much more affordable is a life-saver. Take care!

  • My Mellow Moose Tincture Lineup: CBD, CBG, CBN, THC

    These are all from Mellow Moose CBD! Code ‘Dallas20’ will take 20% off your order, too.

    I chose Mellow Moose after a LOT of research, because they care about their product. They’re certified USDA organic & use clean, solventless processes to create their products, which is something I’m willing to pay a little bit more for.

    Recover (CBD, CBG, CBDv, THC, CBC) – Chills me out, gets me relaxed, great for any time I’m feeling jittery, anxious or restless. My go-to for chilling at night with my girlfriend, but not wanting to sleep quite yet. Sometimes this one can get me just a little drowsy, so I don’t usually take it during the early day.

    Focus (CBG) – AMAZING for working, just fills me with motivation and focus. This one makes me such a go-getter. If I’m not really feeling the work day, this is the first thing that crosses my mind, before even coffee at this point. It’s a smooth energy that keeps me locked in for hours. I know I’m hyping this one a lot, but it truly reminds me of a natural, calm adderall the way it motivates me.

    Synergy (CBG, CBD, THC) – This one feels like a solid blend between the focus and recover, which sort of makes sense! It’s been nice for the day time, but doesn’t get me as locked in as the Focus. I’ll take this one if I’m looking to really get into a conversation, or it’d probably be great for doing some reading.

    Flow (THC) – Just a classic THC tincture. Each dropper is 3mg, so it’s not very much for my higher tolerance, but I took a couple droppers and it’s a noticeable, clean effect with a neutral-good taste. Rather than your average bitter thc tincture, it just has a hint of coconut oil.

    Sleep (CBN) – Possibly my favorite. As someone who struggles with sleeping a lot, a dropper full of this puts me down and keeps me down. I’ve never been one to sleep through the night, but I easily can with a dropper of this. I can’t even say what effects the stuff gives me other than tired, because when I take it at night, I’m just asleep within the hour. But, that’s why it’s my favorite! I’ll have to try taking it in the morning/day sometime, try to stay awake and see what happens, but I think I’d just be napping then 😂

    Overall, I’ve just been so amazed at how effective all of these guys are. I cannot recommend them enough! Every day is smooth sailing with these in my medicine cabinet.
