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.
