Ingredients:
- 4 oz. Water
- 4 oz. Vodka (vodka may be
substituted for water or a pure rosemary tea
infusion)
- 4 teaspoons Liquid
Glycerine (available at many drug stores) -
optional and simply sweetens the mouthwash
- 10-12 drops Peppermint or
Spearmint Essential Oil
- 5 drops Myrrh (optional -
Myrrh can assist in mouth and gum care)
Notes: This
recipe makes a rather minty mouthwash but as
it contains no added flavorings, it is not as
sweet or strong as commercially available
mouthwashes.
Directions:
Boil the water and vodka then add the
glycerine. Remove from the heat and let cool
for 10 minutes. Add the essential oils and let
cool for 1/2 hour and bottle. I like to bottle
the mouthwash in a clear plastic bottle that
has a flip top to make it easy to pour the
mouthwash into a small dixie cup for use.
