I have a holy basil tincture which says:
Contains certified organic grain alcohol (71-77%), distilled water & Holy Basil extractives.
Does this mean that the extract is 71-77% alcohol, or does it mean that the alcohol used in the extract was 71-77% ?

If you look at other tinctures, they're often that type of formula.
My opinion, but who knows? :)
