Equipment:

  • Large pot with a lid

Instructions:

  1. Start by bringing 16 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.

  2. Add 1 cup of whole cloves, 1 cup of dried peppermint leaves, and 1/2 cup of sea salt to the pot.

  3. Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.

  5. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and transfer the liquid to a mixing bowl.

  6. Place a funnel into an empty bottle and carefully pour the mouthwash mixture into the bottle. Optional to add more fresh cloves to soak in at the bottom of the bottle.

  7. Repeat the process with additional bottles until all of the mouthwash has been distributed.

To use the mouthwash, simply take a mouthful of the solution and swish it around your mouth for 30-60 seconds, making sure to rinse thoroughly. Spit the solution out and repeat the process as needed.

This larger batch of mouthwash should last for up to a month if stored in the refrigerator between uses. Just be sure to shake the bottle well before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
