Hand Sanitizer Recipe

The World Health Organization (WHO) approves this recipe, but we’ve reduced the amounts of each ingredient. The reason for this is because the recipe on the WHO website results in 2.6 gallons of hand sanitizer. We figured that you don’t need that much, so start off with the following amount and see if you like it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup 99% isopropyl alcohol
• 1 tablespoon 3% hydrogen peroxide
• 1 teaspoon 98% glycerin
• ¼ cup distilled water

Instructions:

• Pour the alcohol into a medium-sized measuring cup that has a pour spout.
• Add the hydrogen peroxide and give it a gentle stir before pouring the glycerin into the mixture. Because glycerin is thicker, it will take time to combine everything. Get your whisking muscles ready for action because you’ll need them.
• Pour in the distilled water and stir to combine.
• Carefully pour the mixture into a spray bottle and screw on the top. To avoid the ingestion of this hand sanitizer, please label it that it is in fact hand sanitizer. The last thing you want is for someone to ingest this mixture.
• Now go kill some germs, people.
