Working with apple blossom concrete. Hopefully it will play nice.
A “concrete” is the solid waxy paste left behind by after the essential oil extracted with a solvent.
I’ve had chunks of this for a while which I’ve worked with on and off. I haven’t been happy with the results of previous tinctures: The scent has been too light. This time, I’ll tincture through three times.
I’m not quite sure how apple blossom concrete is made though. I didn’t think an oil could be extracted from apple blossoms. I guess this concrete is made on purpose and not the result of making use of a byproduct.
[...] still working with the apple blossom concrete. I strained the first round on Wednesday. Here are the dregs [...]
Where did you get the apple blossom concrete from?
Ive never heard of it…and it looks different from other concretes Ive had in the past too…theyre usually waxy….?
I got it from a buy on a list a few years ago. Seems to still be good. Yeah, concretes can be solid and waxy. I have some mimosa concrete coming and that’s a solid from what I understand.
