I did a crude test with some rue seed...
I put 2 or 3 grams of seed in a shallow glass dish with enough distilled water to cover the seed ..
I boiled the water and seed in a microwave 4 or 5 times and added more water as i went ..
Once .. i mistakenly boiled the seed and water till the water was nearly gone
I simply added more water ..and this time i added some white vingar..then boiled it a few more times till i felt i got all the actives out of the seed..
i think i made extract as potent as possible by multi boiling the mix..
I noticed when checking the water earlier..it apeared tourqoise in color...
But after adding the white vinegar...it apeared a really nice sky blue color...
Noticing the nice blue color i started thinking about THH...but im not much of a chemist ..
......I was looking for the color of THH...
boiling it in a microwave is a little different than on stove top..
notice how the color in last 4 pictures is a sky blue color ...after adding the white vinegar...
will be sending photos of the experament....soon....
