Fill an 8-ounce glass jar half way with a 1:1:1 ratio of dried chamomile, lemon balm, and valerian root.
Fill the jar the rest of the way with vodka or rum. Do not use rubbing alcohol or non-consumable alcohol unless you plan to use this topically. Put the lid on and shake well.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for 4 to 6 weeks, shaking every couple of days.
After 4–6 weeks, strain the tincture through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer.
Transfer the tincture to a dropper bottle and add your CBD oil. Gently shake to combine.
Rather than using specific amounts of dried herbs, I typically just eyeball a 1:1:1 ratio so I can make as little or as much as I like. To do this, fill your jar halfway with 1 part chamomile, 1 part lemon balm, and 1 part valerian. It doesn’t have to be exact! Then cover the rest of the way with alcohol.
It’s best to stop the steeping process somewhere between 4-6 weeks to prevent the herbs from releasing a sour, bitter flavor.
To use, shake well and place a few drops under the tongue whenever you’re feeling stressed.
Your tincture should last a couple of years if stored in a cool, dry place.
