By get rid of the alcohol, I assume you mean the alcohol taste?amcardon said:and pour about 12oz of boiling h2o over top to get rid of the alcohol.
Right. I was just wondering what he meant by "getting rid of the alcohol".Sandyj said:GB, I'm imagining that the alcohol in amacardon's ginger tincture is like a preservative (like in vanilla?).
amcardon said:I will add about 2 tsp of the tincture to a glass and pour about 12oz of boiling h2o over top to get rid of the alcohol.
I was always curious about how effective that was... Since I only use about 2 dropper fulls of the tincture per 12oz h2o I don't think I'll worry about it too much ;-)GB said:OK that is what I was wondering if you were getting at. It is actually an old wives tale that alcohol cooks off. Even igniting the alcohol leaves quit a lot behind (a lot more than you would think).
Here is a chart which will give you aprox amounts of alcohol left after cooking for different times and with different methods.
