Clove and Licorice Mouthwash

This easy recipe will not only save you money, it will also reduce your exposure to the artificial additives and preservatives found in many commercial mouthwashes. The Licorice is optional; it will give the mouthwash a nice sweet flavor, and will also support your body's healthy inflammatory response.*

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups of Water
  • 2 tablespoons of whole Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon of Licorice root, C/S
  • Funnel
  • Glass bottle with lid (at least 22 oz or larger)
  • 1 cup of Vodka

 

Directions

  1. Boil the water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Place the Cloves and Licorice in a large teapot or a heat-resistant mixing bowl, and pour the boiling water over them.
  3. Let the mixture steep until the water has cooled to room temperature.
  4. Strain the mixture through a sieve, reserving the infusion in a small saucepan or mixing bowl.
  5. Discard the cloves and licorice.
  6. Mix the cool infusion with the vodka.
  7. Using a clean plastic funnel, transfer the liquid mouthwash to a glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
