Introduce the high-proof alcohol to the jar, ensuring the leaves are submerged completely. The alcohol level should surpass the plant matter.
Jar Sealing:
Tightly secure the jar with its lid.
Storage and Shaking:
Store the jar in a dark, cool space for a minimum of two to four weeks, shaking it mildly every few days.
Straining:
Post the steeping duration, strain the concoction using a refined strainer or cheesecloth into another sanitized container, extracting the maximum liquid possible.

Pour the strained fluid (now your wild lettuce extract) into dark glass bottles for safeguarding. The dark bottles assist in shielding the extract from light, preventing degradation. Clearly label the bottles with the date and the contents.
