Why You Will Love This Method
Members of my Well With Cannabis Community have asked me many times how to make a Golden Dragon tincture using the QWET method, so here is my easy beginner’s guide to making one at home!
QWET stands for ‘quick wash extraction technique’ or ‘quick wash ethanol extraction.’
The end product is a cannabis tincture called “the Golden Dragon” or “Ice Dragon.”
This QWET method uses frozen cannabis, freezing cold alcohol, and quicker wash times to produce a lighter-colored, less-intensely flavored – but still highly potent – cannabis extract.
Below, I will show you how to make a Golden Dragon tincture.
We will also discuss the differences between the Green and Golden Dragons and the reason for the QWET method’s specific steps, with fully answered FAQs to help you make this perfect the first time.
What You’ll Need
- Cannabis flower: You will need your desired amount of cannabis flowers, ranging from 1 gram to 1 ounce or more. Choose THC, CBD, or CBG-dominant flowers. You can purchase them from your local dispensary or hemp flower from my online shop. Do not forget to decarb before getting started.
- High-proof alcohol: You need high-proof grain alcohol. You want at least 150 proof, but ideally 190 or 200 proof. Lower-proof alcohols, like vodka, are not ideal. Be sure to check out my guide for where you can order high-proof grain alcohol online and have it shipped to your door, or learn more about what to ask for when visiting your local liquor store.
Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.
The Step-by-Step Process
- Step 1 – If you haven’t already, decarb your cannabis. See the decarb recommendations guide below for different times for CBD, CBG, and THC.
- Step 2 – Place the decarbed flower in a mason jar inside the freezer. Freeze overnight.
- Step 3 – Place the alcohol inside the freezer. Freeze overnight.
- Step 4 – Pour the cold alcohol over the frozen flower. Screw the cap on tightly.
Decarb Times
- THCA → Δ9-THC – bake at 240°F/116°C for 40 minutes
- CBDA → CBD – bake at 240°F/116°C for 90 minutes
- CBGA → CBG – bake at 220°F/105°C for 60 minutes
- Δ9-THC → CBN – bake at 240°F/116°C for 180+ minutes (approximate; CBN forms slowly, mostly through aging and oxygen exposure, so a single bake yields only a little)
- Step 5 – Gently invert the mason jar to shake – do not shake vigorously.
- Step 6 – Place back in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Step 7 – Remove the jar from the freezer, shake gently, and place it back in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Step 8 – Repeat the above step one more time for a total of three times.
- Step 9 – Remove from the freezer and strain the tincture through a filter.
- Step 10 – Repeat a second and third wash, if desired.
- Step 11 – Store in a dark jar, like this dropper bottle.
- Step 12 – Move on to evaporate the alcohol, if desired. I use a Source Turbo machine to do this and reclaim the alcohol.
Note: complete step-by-step printable instructions are located in the recipe card below.
Storage Instructions
Store your tincture in glass, not plastic. A dark jar, like this dropper bottle, is ideal.
Clear glass is fine if you store it in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or freezer.
Tinctures can be stored for up to several months or even longer.
Green Dragon vs. Golden Dragon Tincture
A traditional cannabis tincture involves combining cannabis flowers and alcohol in a vessel and letting them sit and steep for a prolonged period, with no freezing involved.
I’ve seen traditional tinctures steep anywhere between a few hours and 24 hours, as described in my traditional tincture method, and up to 4-6 months or longer in some cases.
Fans of the traditional tincture prefer this method because it is believed that the longer soak times help extract a full spectrum of plant compounds, resulting in a complete full-extract cannabis oil.
In contrast, the QWET tincture combines frozen cannabis flowers and frozen alcohol for only 15 minutes, often called a ‘wash’ or ‘wash times.’
Compared to a traditional tincture, this quick wash freezer method produces a much lighter colored tincture with a much more mild cannabis taste that many people prefer.
The QWET method is generally preferred due to its mild taste and flavor, although lab tests prove this method is slightly less potent than the Green Dragon method.
Some generally prefer the traditional long-soak tincture because a more complete plant extract that includes more plant compounds like chlorophyll and terpenes produces a more medicinal final product.
Neither is right nor wrong; it is a matter of personal preference.
Feel free to experiment with it, adapt and adjust your method as you go along, and learn more about your personal preferences.

The Importance of Freezing
For many different reasons, freezing the cannabis flower is extremely important in the QWET tincture process.
For the reasons listed below, it is important to keep your product and in-process tincture cold or as close to freezing as possible the entire time you are working with it.
More Effective Trichome Removal
Trichomes are the small, resinous glands found on cannabis plants that contain the cannabinoids we are after, mainly THC, CBD, CBG, etc.
The goal of the QWET process is to remove as many of the trichomes from the plant matter as possible.
Freezing the plant matter makes these trichomes more brittle and easily separated, or broken off, from the plant material.
This helps us get the most cannabinoids off the plant and into our tincture, resulting in a more potent final product.
Remove Chlorophyll
Freezing cannabis helps prevent the chlorophyll in the plant material from being absorbed into the alcohol tincture.
Chlorophyll, the most abundant pigment in plants, is responsible for the bright green color associated with kale, spinach, celery, and, yes – cannabis.
Chlorophyll produces a strong green taste and color we try to avoid in this extraction method.
While chlorophyll plays a vital role in healthy foods, like in the consumption of raw cannabis, many people do not want it in their final cannabis product for various reasons.
Remove Waxes and Lipids
Freezing also helps remove other naturally occurring plant compounds, like waxes and lipids, also called ‘the undesirables.’
When the flower is frozen, the waxes will stay frozen and can then be filtered out during the filtering or straining process.
This prevents the majority of waxes and lipids from entering your final product, resulting in a ‘cleaner’ end product.
Golden Dragon QWET Freezer Tincture
Ingredients
- 14 grams decarbed cannabis flower
- 8 ounces high-proof grain alcohol
Instructions
- If you haven't already, decarboxylate your cannabis. Be sure to decarb according to the specific cannabinoid present: CBD, CBG, THC, etc.
- Place the decarboxylated cannabis in the freezer. Also place the high-proof alcohol in the freezer. Freeze overnight at a minimum, ideally 24 hours.
- When ready to prepare your tincture, place the frozen cannabis in a mason jar.
- Pour the cold alcohol into the jar. You only need to add enough alcohol to cover the cannabis completely*.
- Screw the lid on tightly and shake gently. Place the jar back in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the jar from the freezer, shake gently, and place it back in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Repeat the above step one more time, for a total of 3 times.
- Remove the jar from the freezer one last time and strain. Pour the tincture through your preferred straining system, separating the plant-matter from the alcohol, into a clean mason jar. A coffee filter in a funnel works well here.
- You now have a Golden Dragon QWET freezer tincture. You can choose to evaporate off as much or as little alcohol as desired.
- Store this tincture in a mason jar, amber-colored tincture jar, or other glass container. You can store at room temperature, in the refrigerator, or freezer. A tincture should last months, if not longer.
Notes
- You do not need to use the full 14 grams of cannabis called for in this recipe. You can use as much or as little cannabis as you want. For a small, starter batch, start with just 3.5 grams.
- Only use high-proof alcohol, the higher the better. Lower-proof alcohol, like vodka, is not ideal. Use this guide to finding high-proof alcohol, if needed.
- You do not need to use the full 8 ounces of alcohol, you just need enough to cover all of the cannabis in the container you are using. Anything more is a waste.
- If you want to make FECO, follow this guide for how to safely evaporate the alcohol from the tincture.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions I receive most often about the QWET tincture-making process from my Well With Cannabis Community.
If you still have additional questions, please feel free to join and post your question to the group.
You must be using food-safe alcohol, like high-proof grain alcohol, for this process and not toxic isopropyl alcohol to make your tincture. Here is my complete guide for getting high-proof alcohol for making tinctures.
Yes, and you should if it’s your first time experimenting with a tincture. The recipe below calls for 14 grams of cannabis flower, but you can honestly use whatever amount you want. Remember, you only need enough alcohol to cover the cannabis flower in the mason jar; exact proportions are not as necessary here.
Traditional long soak cannabis tinctures appear anywhere from vibrant bright green to dark green. This QWET tincture is not supposed to look like that. This tincture should appear very clear with a light yellow or orange hue, almost like a weak steeped tea. More green color signifies that more chlorophyll has been infused and thus is unwanted with this method. See the image above to compare the color of the two tinctures.
Yes, you can use the QWET method to extract just about any cannabinoid you want, including CBD. To make a CBD tincture, first source CBD-dominant flower. Then be sure to decarboxylate the flower for the appropriate time and temperature; the CBD flower should be decarbed at 240°F for 90 minutes. Then follow the process the same process as outlined in the instructions below.
This recipe recommends combining cannabis and alcohol for no longer than 15 minutes; however, as with all things cannabis, there is more than one way to achieve the desired result. Many people do a simple 3-minute wash and are happy with their results, while others do a 60-minute wash and are happy with their results. The goal is to remove as many trichomes from the plant as possible without removing additional plant compounds like chlorophyll, waxes, and lipids. If you combine the cannabis flowers and alcohol for longer than 15 minutes, you may not necessarily extract more THC or CBD, but you risk pulling more unwanted plant matter. For this reason, going for longer than 15 minutes moves you into the territory of a more traditional cannabis tincture. However, if you want to experiment to find a perfect wash time, please do!
Yes, you can make this recipe with decarbed kief. Just like with kief cannabutter, know that kief will make a more potent tincture.
Can I Do More Than One Wash?
There are also methods where people will do a ‘first wash,’ ‘second wash,’ and even a ‘third wash.’
This washing method uses the same cannabis flower but a fresh batch of frozen alcohol for each wash.
After the first wash, you would strain off the alcohol into a mason jar and proceed with a ‘second wash’ by adding new frozen alcohol to the already used batch of flowers.
If you use this method, label your jars as ‘first wash,’ ‘second wash,’ etc., so you know what you’re working with.
Alternatively, you can combine all of the washes for one final tincture. Again, the choice is up to you.
Is QWET As Potent?
I ran lab tests to compare the traditional Green Dragon cannabis tincture to this Golden Dragon QWET tincture, and the results are posted here.
According to the results, the Green Dragon long soak tincture method produces a more potent tincture. The results suggest that the longer the soak, the more potent the final product.
However, this method produces a stronger-tasting tincture with more residual plant matter like chlorophyll.
This leaves you, the consumer, deciding to choose potency over taste. As with all things cannabis, I always recommend going low and starting slow when experimenting with a new product.
How Do I Estimate the Final Potency?
Without lab testing, you’re essentially guessing the final potency of your tincture, or any cannabis edible, for that matter.
However, if you know the starting percentage of THC or CBD in your cannabis flower and how much you used by weight in grams, you may be able to use my online calculator to get a ballpark range.
For this reason, I recommend weighing out your cannabis flower with a digital scale before making the tincture, so you have a starting point.
Once you have calculated the milligrams of THC or CBD used, this number will remain the same regardless of how much alcohol you keep or evaporate.
It is also important to know that cannabis edibles will affect everyone differently.
You and your spouse may consume the same amount of an identical product and have vastly different responses or experiences.
This is normal, and again why I recommend starting low and going slow when dosing tincture.

Should I Evaporate the Alcohol?
This is a personal preference, and you must experiment to find what works best.
Some people do not evaporate off the alcohol and prefer the cannabis to be infused in alcohol for more effective sublingual absorption.
Some people evaporate off just a portion of the alcohol, 1/4-3/4 of the total volume, to help remove some alcohol burn.
Some people evaporate 100% alcohol to make FECO or other cannabis concentrates and extracts.
There is no one correct answer as to what you should do; this is all personal preference based on your desired outcome.
If you want to evaporate the alcohol, follow my guide full of safe evaporation methods.
Can I Make FECO from QWET?
Yes, you can turn this QWET tincture into FECO, also known as full-extract cannabis oil.
However, the jury is still out as to whether or not the QWET tincture truly contains the full spectrum of cannabis compounds due to the quick wash times.
Regardless, you can still evaporate off the alcohol from this tincture to make a sticky cannabis concentrate like FECO.
You can follow the same directions here for safely evaporating off the alcohol and making FECO at home.
The guide also comes with instructions for mixing your final FECO product with MCT oil for a more viscous sublingual product.
Can I Reclaim The Alcohol?
If you are serious about making cannabis tinctures at home long-term, I recommend thinking of ways to reclaim your alcohol so you’re not spending as much money.
One way to reclaim the alcohol is to use a water distiller.
A distiller will heat the alcohol, evaporate it, and send it to another waiting vessel, where you can reclaim and use it again for future use.
Another way is to invest in a machine that does this work for you, like the Source Turbo or ETOH Pro from Extract Craft.
This machine will also help you make cannabis concentrates, as explained below.
Can I Make Concentrates From This QWET Tincture?
For many people, making this QWET tincture is just the beginning step for making cannabis concentrates at home.
While making cannabis concentrates at home requires a bit more investment of time, money, and energy, it is worthwhile for many of my Well With Cannabis Community members.
If you are interested in making cannabis concentrates and extracts at home, I recommend checking out Extract Craft for helpful resources and machines to help you through the process.
What Can I Do With The Leftover Plant Material?
I’ve heard people say all of the THC has been removed from the remaining plant material, but I’ve also had people save it and say they’ve had a great experience using it in various ways.
I think it’s at least worth experimenting with the leftovers to see if they’re worth saving for you.
If you decide to give it a go, there are many recipes and ways to use the leftovers in this article for using leftover pulp.

I have a question – why 3 different washes with only 3 times shaking per wash? Why not just 1 wash with 10+ times shaking? It can not have to do with the solution getting saturated after 3 times shaking. Pure alcohol can bind more than 1g of cannabinoids like THC per 1ml (there are studies to prove this. So the alcohol should easily be able to bind more than all the cannabinoids in the plant material.
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Regards Olly
Hello Olly, thank you so much for your question! The reason for doing three different washes with only three shakes per wash, instead of one long wash with 10+ shakes, primarily comes down to efficiency and preserving the quality of the extracted cannabinoids. When you shake for too long in a single wash, there’s a higher chance of extracting undesirable compounds like chlorophyll or plant waxes, which can affect the purity and taste of the final product. By doing multiple shorter washes, we minimize the risk of pulling out those unwanted compounds while still effectively extracting the cannabinoids. You’re absolutely right that alcohol can bind more than enough cannabinoids from the plant material due to its high solvency. However, the shorter and multiple washes provide better control over the process and ensure a cleaner, higher-quality extraction.
I hope this helps clarify things! If you have more questions, feel free to ask anytime.
Thank you for your answer. I must admit, I do Not really care about the taste – it is all about the medical benefits. I just tried a golden Dragon tincture with 10g dried Buds and 100ml highly concentrated alcohol with about 15 shakes within 24 hours and only 1 wash. I was really surprised about the strength. 0.25 ml was way too much for sleep purposes and I ended up with only 0,125 ml per serving (my wife even takes less because she is more sensitive).
By the way, the best trick to measure these small amounts is a 1ml insulin syringe, which makes it possibe to meassure 0,025 ml if you take the variant to messure 40 IU per ml.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Golden Dragon tincture, Bulkolly! It’s so great to hear that you’ve found a method that works for your needs, especially when precision is so crucial. Using a 1ml insulin syringe for such small measurements is such a clever and practical trick, thanks for mentioning it! It’s always helpful to learn how different preparation methods can impact potency and effectiveness for medical purposes. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hey Emily,
I have some bags for making bubble hash and the bag with the finest mesh will filter all out what wasn’t collected by the previous bags. Dirt, plant material, even trichomes.
This finest mesh should still be less filtering than the paper filter you use to filter the QWET.
So I wonder if you are not filtering out a good amount of the trichomes.
Thanks for the super instructions. And please excuse my lousy English.
Best regards,
André
Hello André, rhank you so much for reaching out and for your kind words about the instructions, I’m so happy you’ve found them helpful! No need to apologize for your English; you explained everything perfectly, and I totally understand your question.
You’re absolutely correct that the finest mesh bag in bubble hash making is designed to catch what slips through the earlier bags, including small particles like dirt, plant material, and even finer trichome material. When it comes to filtering QWET, the paper filter is indeed finer than the mesh bag, and it could catch some very small trichome fragments. However, the trichomes that are most valuable for extraction are generally preserved since they dissolve into the ethanol during the washing process, forming the cannabinoid-rich solution you’re after. The primary role of the paper filter here is to remove unwanted plant debris rather than capturing dissolved trichomes.
I hope this clears things up a bit, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions! I’m always happy to help.
I completed making Golden Dragon . Its in tincture stage for now . But I made some Canna-sugar and it is not dark like when I made it from the Green Dragon . Thanks for your help .
Sounds great Johnnie! Glad it turned out well — enjoy your Golden Dragon and Canna-sugar!
How long do I put the everclear and flower back in the freezer for a 2nd and 3rd wash ?
Hi Johnnie. 5 minutes works well. Happy tincture-making!
This is my 1st time at making any ticture or RSO to use for edibles. This article cleared many things up for me. I now realize you don’t have to make RSO out of your tincture if you don’t want to.Both Green Dragon and Golden Dragon were excellently explaned. I have bookmared the article so I can have it handy anytime I need it. Thank You!!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy the article was helpful and cleared things up for you. Best of luck with your tinctures and edibles. Happy experimenting!
I have made my freezer alcohol tincture now can I make butter out of it?
Hello Gary, I’m so happy to hear you’ve made your freezer alcohol tincture! Unfortunately, you can’t directly use alcohol tinctures to make butter since the alcohol and fats don’t mix well. The next step would be to gently evaporate off the alcohol to turn your tincture into FECO, which you can then easily add to butter for your recipe. Here is my guide for FECO, you’re already half-way there! 🙂
This is exactly what I’m looking for, so thank you. I read through the comments, and didn’t see this question answered, so I’ll ask here.
Given that the solubility of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in ethanol is greater than 1 gram per milliliter (g/mL), one can imagine that a 750ml bottle of 190 proof Everclear could theoretically dissolve almost 750g (~26oz) of pure THC alone. That is a lot.
I know that your recommendation is to do the 3 quick consecutive ice washes to remove to most THC (or whatever your cannabinoid goals are determined by strain and decarboxylation time and temperature) from the plant matter, without the lipids, waxes and chlorophyll. And that this tincture is less potent than the “Green Dragon” method.
Would it be possible to use the resultant “Golden Dragon” tincture a second time (x3 frozen washes) and perhaps third time (x3 frozen washes) with additional freshly frozen decarbed cannabis to increase the THC profile to get a far greater potency that the traditional “Green Dragon” method.
As I have medical issues which preclude any substantial intake of ethanol, combined the inability to digest fats which THC typically binds to with a FECO extract, that sublingual absorption of the resultant tincture of using the same amount of ethanol with 3 times as much cannabis, would mean less ethanol in my system.
Have you done any testing in this regard? Even if I have to “top up” the initial resultant “Golden Dragon ” with additional ethanol between runs (eg 9 washes total with 3 rounds of fresh decarbed cannabis topped up to ensure the flower is covered) I am hoping this might work for me.
Since I live in Canada, have a medical license, and grow my own outdoors, I have cabinet’s full or cured cannabis to work with so my costs are extremely low.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers
Thank you for your detailed question, Brock! Yes, you can absolutely perform multiple washes with fresh decarbed cannabis to increase the potency of your “Golden Dragon” tincture. Just ensure you’re using enough ethanol to fully cover the plant material each time, and topping up as needed should work fine. This method could help you achieve a higher THC concentration while minimizing ethanol intake. Best of luck, and it’s great that you’re making use of your homegrown cannabis!
Very informative 👍👍
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Ihave a QWET tincture using 28 grams of flower reduced in half wanting to use under young what can I add to help the taste
Hello Gary, I’m so happy you’re exploring the use of QWET tinctures! To help improve the taste, one option is to evaporate more alcohol as suggested. Additionally, you might try adding a few drops of food-grade peppermint or vanilla extract to provide a more pleasant flavor. Just ensure you’re using high-quality extracts meant for consumption to maintain the tincture’s integrity. 😊
Hello,
great guide!
I’m thinking about storing the tincture in an open jar at a dark place for some days to let the alcohol evaporate. That should transform the tincture to an oil, right? Or is that a bad idea to do with an Golden Dragon and should I do a FECO or RSO instead?
Thanks for your input 🙂
Hello Barschti! Thanks for reaching out with your question 😊 If you let the alcohol evaporate, yes, it will turn your tincture into an oil; which is considered to be FECO, the concentrated end form of your product. It’s totally fine to do with with a Golden Dragon tincture as long as the flower has already been strained out of the liquid. Let me know if you have more questions!
Do you have to decarb.I have a cbg strain and would like to extract the cbga. I understand that decarbing turns cbga to cbg
Thank you for your question, Jim! 😊 If you’re looking to extract CBGA from your CBG strain, you don’t need to decarb it. Keeping it in its original form will allow you to enjoy the unique benefits of CBGA. However, if you’re interested in reaping the benefits of CBG, then you should go ahead and decarb. It really depends on what you’re aiming for! 🌱
Will Ice Dragon THC % increase with a longer (25 day) freezer soak time? Love your website!
Thank you so much for your kind words about my website, Michael! 😊 As for your question, I don’t have lab tests to confirm the exact effects of a longer 25-day freezer soak on Ice Dragon THC levels. It’s possible that while potency might increase, it could negatively impact the flavor. If you’re more focused on potency, I definitely encourage you to experiment and see what works best for you. Keep us posted!
Hi Emily,
beautiful recipe I found it very interesting. On my first try the dye came out perfect. However, when I tried to replicate it, always following the same steps (except for the fact that I used the nebula boost to decarb) the dye became darker and had residues of material that looked like kief even after filtering. Furthermore, the effect was weaker. Why? The only thing I changed was the decarb and freezer time (longer). Hi thanks!
Hi there Toby! 😊 Thanks for your kind words about the recipe, it’s great to hear that your first try went so well. Regarding the issues you encountered with the color on your second attempt, the longer soak time in the freezer can indeed lead to increased chlorophyll extraction, which might explain the darker color and the residual plant material you noticed. This can affect both the appearance and potency of your final product. If you’re looking for a lighter effect, consider reducing your soak time. Happy experimenting!
Thank you for the great instructions! I have a question about evaporating the alcohol. Once I do so using the crockpot method, how much of the concentrate do I use in your basic gummy recipe? I am a little confused as to how much considering the whole batch was 14 grams.
I’m glad you found the instructions helpful, Brian! If you started with 14 grams, you’ll want to measure the final concentrate in terms of volume (like teaspoons or milliliters).. A general rule of thumb is to start with a small amount, such as 1/4 teaspoon or 1 milliliter, and adjust based on the potency and your preference. YOu can use our online calculator to help you determine what the potency of what you have: https://emilykylenutrition.com/edible-dosage-calculator/
Remember, it’s always better to start with less. Let us know if you need more guidance!
Hi Emily! Thank you for your detailed instructions!
I am wondering if you might know if I can use the QWET method for any herb (not just THC or CBD)?
Thank you, again!
Ilse
Hi Ilse! Thank you for reaching out with your question! Yes, the QWET method can indeed be applied to a variety of herbs beyond just THC or CBD. It’s a versatile extraction technique that can be used to extract essential oils and compounds from different plants. However, it’s important to research and ensure that the specific herb you’re interested in is suitable for ethanol extraction, as the characteristics of the herb can affect the outcome. Happy extracting!
