2
TBSP
dried peppermint leaf
2
TBSP
dried plantain leaf
1
TBSP
dried rosemary leaf
water
(boiling)
8
oz

15
drops
cinnamon essential oil
(or peppermint essential oil)
Instructions
Place the herbs in a pint size mason jar.
Pour enough boiling water over the herbs to just dampen all of them.
Pour the rum or vodka into the jar with the herbs and hot water.
Cover tightly and place in a cool dark place for 2-3 weeks.
Each day, shake the jar to help the herbs infuse into the alcohol mixture.
After 2-3 weeks, use a cheesecloth or a very fine mesh strainer to strain the herbs out of the tincture.
Discard the herbs and pour the tincture into small dropper bottles or another glass jar to store.
Add the essential oils, return lid and shake well.
Notes
Combine 40 drops of mouth wash with 2-3 tablespoons of water and swish in mouth for 30 seconds.
