Other possible herbs to substitute could include: California poppy, lavender, oat tops, tulsi, and St. John’s wort. Including one or two of these herbs extracted in glycerin will lend a pleasant flavor to an otherwise strong-tasting combo. Shake the liquid in a closed jar to blend well, and store in a labeled dropper bottle in a dark, cool place for up to 3 years. Refer to the Summer 2022 edition of edible South Shore & South Coast or an herbal reference guide for detailed instructions on making tinctures.
