Yay, plantain tincture!
I used organic vodka to cover the chopped plantain leaves.
The first recipe I saw said let it sit for 3 months, but I couldn’t find that recipe again and all the new ones I found all said 6-8 weeks… ended up being 9 weeks!

We can fix it! We just need some baling wire, some WD-40, a bit of duct tape and this tiny ad:
