Pack lightly to remove air bubbles and close with an airtight seal.

Label the jar with the botanical identity and extraction date. Keep it in a shaded, temperature-stable area like a closet and rock it lightly each morning for two to six weeks. The longer it sits results in a more potent concentrate. After the steeping time is up, Pass the mixture through a cheesecloth, over a sterile container. Press the pulp thoroughly from the plant material. Discard the spent herbs.
