Homemade Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap

Another great recipe from the Humbled Homaker!
http://thehumbledhomemaker.com/2011/11/natural-holiday-homemade-peppermint.html

Ingredients:
1/4 parts peppermint scented castille soap (or plain)
3/4 parts distilled water
a few (2-3) drops peppermint essential oil (or tea tree for disinfecting)
a foaming soap dispenser
Method:Mix soap and water. Drop in and mix in oils. Pour into a foaming soap dispenser. That’s IT!I found this great tutorial for making a cute foaming hand soap dispenser out of a canning jar. With my hubby’s help (I’m not crafty, remember?), we’ve made one for our bathrooms and kitchen, and we will be making several as Christmas gifts. We simply purchased the canning jars and plastic canning lids at Wal-Mart, and we also purchased some colorful (red or green for Christmas!) smooth stones to go in the bottom of the jars. We purchased the foaming dispenser tops, here. (But if you’re super frugal and patient like my friend Stacy at Stacy Makes Cents, just ask your friends and family to save their old Bath and Body Works dispensers for you!).
