With this process that concern is removed. By using kief/hash as your extraction source you remove all that excess plant material that you had to cover with the alcohol to get a good soak. With kief/hash you just choose how much tincture you want and the potency and not have to worry about a lot of mess, either. For example, in this guide I used about 1.2g of dry ice hash in one ounce of 151 rum, with the hash having an approx ratio of 4g of pot to each gram. I got 7g of hash from an ounce of trim so just rough measurements. This is a great way to use your fan leaf effectively.
So lets get started, shall we?
First, decarb your hash if it's made from cannabis made within the last 3 months. If your hash is imported you don't need to decarb or if you're using dry, imported reefer to make your hash or kief. Otherwise, you should do so. To do that you want your hash as broken up and powdery as possible, not pressed. Sifted kief is perfect for this. For pressed hash, you can give it a little heat and it will break up. Place your hash/kief in a small pyrex or ceramic dish.

Preheat your oven to 220°F. Cover your dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes depending on the hash. If you had a problem getting your hash to loosen up, you should be able to break it up after 10 minutes in the oven. Just remove the foil and smash your hash, then place back in the oven quickly and add a little extra time. If you've made dry ice hash, it has been partially decarbed by the extreme cold of the dry ice but still needs to be fully decarbed but a little less time would be required.

I'm going to show you a couple of tips for filtering your Dragon without losing half of it to the filter absorption. If you have only an ounce of tincture you can't afford to waste it.

A) Dip the paper coffee filter into the shot glass of 151 until it is completely soaked, squeeze out the excess and place it in the strainer.
