Monday, August 5, 2013 at 7:10 am I’ve been doing this for several years, and have a tip I thought I’d share.
Without some sort of antimicrobial/antifungal agent, this concoction will sour and spoil relatively quickly, even in the most temperate conditions. However, GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) is a powerful antibacterial/antimicrobial/antifungal agent. Adding just a few drops into your mixture will keep it from souring so it will last much longer–and you won’t get all that slimy buildup in the spray bottle from it turning.
You can buy it on Amazon for under $15 for a large bottle these days. But you probably will only need a small bottle to start. If you get some time, Google “GSE”. You’ll find that it’s a very versatile product–used for everything from healing cold sores to helping balance pH to cleaning wounds to–you name it. It’s very, very potent, though, so never use it full strength. A drop or two at a time is all you need.
Also, if you have to use it orally (and there are so many reasons you might want to), it tastes pretty bad–no, REALLY bad–on its own. But, for some reason, soy milk completely masks the flavor of it. Because what good is a cure if you can’t get it down the hatch? Orange juice makes it taste less potent, but I find the soy milk to completely neutralize its taste.
Anyhow, happy concocting!
