Vegetable glycerin is a popular, alcohol-free alternative to make herbal extracts, often called glycerites. It is sweet-tasting, which makes tinctures more palatable, especially for children or those sensitive to alcohol. Glycerites have a shorter shelf life than alcohol-based tinctures, typically lasting 3-5 years, as opposed to alcohol tinctures, which can last indefinitely. Storing them in a cool, dark place is recommended.
