Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Not alot of difference other than one referring to medicine (tincture) and the other referring to foods (extract) tincture a medicine consisting of an extract in an alcohol solution. A solution of medicinal substance in alcohol, usually more or less diluted; spirits containing medicinal substances in solution. extract To obtain from a substance by chemical or mechanical action, as by pressure, distillation, or evaporation. a solution obtained by steeping or soaking a substance (usually in water).

I make Vanilla Extract by using vanilla beans and Vodka. my sister makes Black Walnut Hull stuff from Vodka and Black walnut hulls. She insists that this is a tincture and not an extract.
