Wandering Adventure Party

A few months? You’ll get plenty of chlorophyll and other undesirables pulled that way. If you just want the flavor and essential oil you can freeze your plant material and the everclear, combine while still as cold as possible, shake for a few minutes… Maybe try a little bit and see if that might save you some time and give a better tasting extraction.

95% ethanol is pleanty strong enough for a quick extraction imho

Cold fractionation with polar solvents is the best way to prevent degradation of the desirable compounds… IMHO Heat degrades and destroys many of the flavonoids and terpenes that you’d want from an herbal extraction.

Surprised with your background that you never needed that method, but we have found it to be useful for NMR and mass spec work.

It will not, that is why it is perfect for this type of extraction.
