Notes

Summary Breakdown:

Boil cinnamon, cloves and salt together for 20 minutes. Finish with the fresh mint and turn off the heat. Cover for 5 minutes. Then pour.

We pour the cinnamon mouthwash recipe into a cup at the end for the video so you can see what it looks like, but we normally pour it into large glass jars with lids (such as a big olive jar, etc.)

Does it have to be refrigerated? It can be, but this does not have to remain refrigerated. We keep a glass jar in each bathroom. It sits fine in room temp for at least a month.

How long does it last at room temp? We go through it pretty fast, so its absolute shelf-life is something we can’t comment on. But ours is great for up to the month’s worth of time we normally use if for until it’s finished.
