As an alternative, you could freeze the whole batch in ice cube trays, then either defrost one at a time in the microwave, or let it sit out to thaw the night before you need it. I am looking for a good recipe for mouthwash, I have one question about tea tree oil, the oil that I am finding in stores is stating on the label “for external use only”. Is it safe for the mouth as long as you don’t swallow? It is hard to swish in the mouth without swallowing some little amounts especially when gargling.
