How You Get Rid Of Garlic Breath
But wild leeks pack a powerful punch (their taste is something akin to a garlic-onion hybrid), and that leaves us with less-than-desirable breath.
Normally, we're cool with stinky breath as long as the food we're eating tastes good, but tonight, our editors are attending the ASME awards (where we've received a few nomination nods!).
The only problem? We've got a ramp tasting in the kitchen beforehand. We put out the call to our readers on Facebook and Twitter-how can we get rid of our ramp breath? Here are your genius ideas.
"Chewing fresh parsley leaf seems to work well for garlic breath." -@Cooking_Anthony
"Parsley! Or lemon!" -@NPizzotti
"Parsley helps if you have bad breath, not if you just ate a bunch of garlic. Make sure everyone has a box of Altoids in their pocket before heading out!" -Annya Eyestone
"Chew on fennel seeds; widely used in India to freshen breath after meals." -@dizeedeez
"Chomp cardamom seeds!" -@MsLeighRiley
"Green tea. Chew basil, tarragon, mint, or gum. Mouthwash. Hot sauce or mustard." -Juan-Carlos Valadez
"Ginger tea w lemon. Or barley tea, unsweetened." -Shane Marie Fisher
"Several tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with water in a teacup or the same amount of fresh squeezed lemon juice!" -Samuel Edward Mcbride
"Quick rinse of baking soda and water then brush teeth." -Cristine Laarkamp Scott
"Bring a portable toothbrush and make sure you dont skip the tongue!" -Kalia Bacik
"Lots and lots of water." -Cinema & Spice
