A medicinal use for late summer herbs is to preserve them as a tincture. Tinctures are not the same as the culinary vinegars; rather, they are solvents used in herbal medicines and are products not intended for consumption as a food. Tinctures are concentrated extracts made by soaking various plant parts, that may be foliage, roots, bark, or fruit. Active ingredients in the plant parts are diffused into alcohol or vinegar. The active ingredients and the medicinal properties of plants are preserved in the liquid with concentrations varying in strength from weak to 90% in strength.
