Procure Wild Lettuce:
You have the option to either collect wild lettuce leaves independently or obtain dried ones from a trustworthy source. For those opting to collect, ensure accurate identification of the plant and procure it from uncontaminated, safe environments.
Leaf Preparation:
If utilizing fresh leaves, permit them to wilt for several hours to minimize moisture content. For dried leaves, this step is unnecessary.
Crushing or Chopping:
Dissect the leaves into minor pieces or crush them to augment the surface area, facilitating the release of active constituents during extraction. Utilize a mortar and pestle or a knife for this purpose.
Placement in Glass Jar:
Deposit the chopped or crushed leaves in a glass jar, filling it to the halfway mark, and avoiding overpacking.
