Making Your Own Hand Sanitizer

Anyone who has been in a grocery store the last 3 weeks knows that a number of common household items are out of stock.  While we can’t find a recipe for making your own toilet paper, we did find several recipes for making your own hand sanitizer.  The most widely spread one uses vodka.  Unfortunately, the alcohol content is too low and it makes a foul tasting cocktail.   The other most popular recipe uses Isopropyl Alcohol but does not clarify that the Isopropyl Alcohol must be 99%, not the 70% most commonly found.  The World Health Organization published a guide to making your own hand sanitizer.  It can be found here:
