I have never made a tincture and would like to start out with Cayenne tincture.

1. I have found dried ghost chillies from India and habaneros from South America, however they are not organic but chemical free.

Would it be okay to make tincture with either of the above for use with eyebright tincture (which I will be doing separately once I get the organic herbs?)

or

2. Can I purchase organic habanaro mash that was ground fresh and frozen to make the tincture? and how would I prepare it?

Thank you for any sugestions.
