Thanks for the recipe! Am almost out of Magic Sizing, which I think bothers my asthma. Will have to give this a try. I'm assuming I can add in fewer than 15-20 drops of the essential scented oil. Why does it need to be kept in the refrigerator?

few drops of Lavender essence
Vodka is made from potatoes so therefore it is starch.
I never get any flakeing from this mixture.
