You cannot do better than the Source Turbo Extractor for herbal extractions. The Source is an easy to use home appliance for extracting plant essences. Plant essences are key to the smell, taste, and other properties of plants and are used in flavorings, perfumes, herbal extracts and medicinals.

The Source Turbo allows you to make high-quality botanical oil and concentrate extractions at home, simplifying the process and dramatically limiting costs. Whether you are creating extractions for at-home personal use or small-batch production, it will make your process more time-efficient and user-friendly.

The first step in making plant extracts is to make a tincture from the combination of plant matter and food-grade alcohol. Lavender, mint, hops, rosemary, cinnamon, radishes, calendula flowers and many other plants have been used successfully. The oils of some plants, such as mint and lavender, dissolve in alcohol very quickly (5 to 20 minutes). Others, such as vanilla or rose petals, may take hours or longer for the best result. Some extracts benefit from using alcohol that has been thoroughly chilled in the freezer during the tincture process, others are best prepared at room temperature.

The second step is to simply use the Source to separate the plant essence from the tincture. The Source removes the alcohol from the tincture, leaving the pure plant essence. The alcohol is captured for reuse.
