Hypothetically, if you tried extracting some herbal stuff at home—like oils or tinctures—and it went kinda wrong (maybe too strong or weird smell or something), how would you fix it?

"Mint tea or even cinnamon can also mask weird tincture flavors without dental worries..."

Totally agree with mint tea—it's my go-to for covering up funky herbal tastes. Cinnamon's good too, but sometimes it can clash if the tincture already has strong flavors. Another trick I've found helpful is adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond milk. It smooths things out nicely without overpowering the herbs. Plus, almond milk gives it a creamy texture that makes it easier to drink if your tincture turned out extra bitter or harsh.

Mint tea usually works for me too, though sometimes vanilla feels a bit off with herbal stuff—depends on the combo I guess. I've found a squeeze of fresh lemon helps tone down bitterness without competing flavors... just gotta be careful not to overdo it.

Lemon's a good call, actually. I've had similar issues with homemade tinctures turning bitter or funky-smelling—usually just diluted them a bit more or added honey to smooth things out. Trial and error, right? You're doing great figuring it out.
