Liquorice roots have an intensely sweet flavor, yet they don't contain any actual sugar, and are actually good for teeth, helping to slow the growth of bacteria and formation of plaque. Green tea inhibits the bacteria responsible for mouth odor, and both are anti-inflammatory, soothing sore gums. Use this mouthwash once a day to help freshen breath and help keep tooth decay at bay.

For the mouthwash: Make up a pot of green tea with the tea leaves, and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain 3/4 cup of the green tea, then pour into the liquorice tincture to dilute it. (When you do this, the tea should be no hotter than176 to 194 degrees F/80 to 90 degrees C, definitely not boiling.) Stir in the glycerine and lemon essential oil and bottle.
Use as a mouthwash/gargle once a day as needed. Do not swallow.
The mouthwash will keep for 6 months in the refrigerator.
