    EDIT:
    i added a bit of fresh lemon juice in the mix for acidity and flavour

    Look up BadKitty's thread. She's the goddess of all things edible.

    if it was cool enough for your finger i doubt there is a problem.

    I cook my food oil at 270.

    If you plan to make edible extracts, I'd get a good candy themometer.

    anything under 300f is just fine, you where withing a safe temp range, don't worry.

    are you using the oil in your tincture or just the glycerin? Never heard of people doing that, but i don't see why it wouldn't work as its fluid too. Might taste a little nasty but the glycerin should cover that up.

    Also, 12h of heating should be plenty. According to BKS, you should always give tinctures, be it with alcohol or glycerin, a bit of time to age after heating before they reach optimal potency. They do work right away too, but greater potency is had by those who wait an aditional 2-3 weeks before consuming.

    it came out great. and yes 1 part almond oil 3 parts glycerin. I think almond oil may have been a better slovent becasue the two oils separated and the top layer (almond) is ALOT darker than the glycerin idk if this means its more potent but yeah its a theory. The back of the almond oil says vegtable dervied oils such as this one date back to biblical times. When they were mixed with fragrant herbs to create traditional ointments. saw it and bought some with thge glycerin. I will be going to make a new thread with my results

    Almond oil is one of the oldest digestible oils known to man. It wasn't just used in edibles but also in religious ceremonies, mummification, buried with the pharaohs' treasures, given as gifts. I've also seen almond oil mentioned as one of the better thc solvents.
