*A Simple Home Bubble Recipe.
Makes 1050 ml of bubble juice.

Ingredients

• 50 mls Washing up liquid Fairy Liquid from the UK/Ireland, Dawn from the US, Charmy from Japan (Johnson and Johnson’s Original Baby bath also works if you can’t source the above in NZ).
• 1.5 gms Guar Gum - I prefer Ceres Organic in NZ
• 2 gms Baking Soda or Sodium Bicarbonate
• 1 Litre Water - Hand hot is best

1. Mix the Guar Gum and Baking Soda with the detergent until completely mixed.
2. Slowly add the above mix to the water.
3. Let stand for at least 2 hours- best after 48 hours.

Add more water when it’s very dry weather, less when it’s humid.
