I think you need to redo your pictures. Other than that I am going to expect your mixture to be very green... Haha. If you have strained your mix out, I wish to ask what your purpose or what you want to have. Most likely you have just a chlorophyll-laden mixture that may be good for edibles: some drops in a juice would work if you medicate. However if you allow the stuff to evaporate on its own, youll end up with a very green sludge because
Of the chlorophyll.
I did this once and since ethanol has an awesome way of extracting nearly everything, it is best that ethanol doesn't come in contact with your plant material for very long. A minute at best and both should be chilled prior to mixing. There are isopropyl methods for this, plenty of threads.
Probably not as salvageable as thought but I can't say you
Cant smoke this stuff on some dried flower for a boost.
And if you have enough,just split the mixture: one to let the alcohol evaporate and the other for another plan.
It is still versatile but strain your mixture well before doing anything else with it.

Well, I was trying for pain relief and body high, lol. Had shingles on the bottom of my foot at the time and was in extreme pain and wasn't thinking straight. Now, just want to salvage it.

You can make a balm, mix it in any medium you prefer at a store then add a few drops at a time to it if thats your focus. a tincture is also worth it for pain being an edible. Put on the bottom of your tongue and keep it there until it dissolves. You can flavor it a bit if it has a lot of "green" flavor.
Without knowing what you put in, how much alcohol to plant matter
Ratios and all that, you'll just have to try it out yourself until you reach your dose.
Since I havent seen pictures, Im not so sure how much more I can help

now that I am reading into the raw leaves deal, Im wondering just how effective this may even be. It would be questionable to what would be medicinal if anything in the mixture.

get a small stainless steel container. Pour tincture in to it and set it on a hot plate or coffee pot burner and cook for about 1/2 hour. keep temp under 275 F. It works. and now the tincture will get you high and help with pain and sleep. Do not use raw leaf material or you will get an awful stomach ache.
