Bad Breath Spray

Okay, yes...it looks a little weird, a little funky. But it smells phenomenal! This recipe is featured in "Grow Your Own Drugs!" by James Wong. I just made it last night, and it's very simple and easy. Plus, it'll make your whole kitchen smell fresh from all the great ingredients being chopped and blended. 


Ingredients: 
10 tbsp (25 grams) fresh thyme leaves
10tbsp (30g) fresh mint leaves
5 fresh eucalyptus leaves
3 tsp anise seed
3 tsp cloves
3/4 cups (200 mL) vodka, 40%
rind of 1 lemon
1 tbsp sorbitol/artificial sweetener, optional
4 tbsp glycerin

Strip the thyme, mint and eucalyptus leaves from their stems and chop. I used dried eucalyptus that was crumbled, so I took 5 small handfuls, a little bigger than a teaspoon. Place in a blender and mix. Add anise seed and cloves and mix again.

Place in a dark bottle with the vodka, lemon and sorbitol and leave for 10 days- 1 month to macerate. After time period has passed, strain through cheesecloth-lined strainer. Add the glycerin and pour into a small spray bottle.

Spray into mouth when needed. Since this contains alcohol, be careful when using it...like, don't over do it when driving or operating machinery.
