Note on the plantain: it tastes really bad. Kids won’t put up with this. 😆 So, I like it in a glycerite bc glycerites are sweet, in tea mixed with other tasty herbs, or my personal favorite, powdered in applesauce! And as a general note: If I’m giving kids any kinds of tinctures, they’re usually taking them in juice or in elderberry syrup. They don’t complain so much about it that way. Notice, these herbs I reach for often are common. Nothing fancy. You can do SO much for your family with just a small handful of common culinary herbs, and a few you can easily forage or grow yourself.
