Using Grape fruit seed extract

Hey all,
Ok, I was wondering...
How am I supposed to go around using grape fruit seed extract, lol? Also, are you supposed to refrigerate it? And can I use it in my steamer, even though it says put nothin but water in it?

Thanks for your help,

Steven:

You need a squirt bottle and some hot water. If your bottle is a one quart (abut a litre, I think) then you'll add 25 to 30 drops of GSE. You squirt the dirt, let it stand for about, 10 minutes and then come back and wipe off. If you had big birds, you'd have to come back in 10 minutes with a plastic scraper and just scoop it up onto a paper towel. You can also mix up about 15 drops in a couple of cups of water and rinse off fresh fruits and veggies or even sprouts with it.

In the hot months, add one drop to a cup of water. For smaller birds, I suggest you make up a batch and then add it to the dishes. It is fairly acidic, so you don't want to put too much in a tiny dish.

How's that?
