Homemade dish soap

This is a natural dish soap in a concentrated form. I made this for the first time and OH MY Goodness it was so thick. It wouldn't go threw the pump. It was quite funny. So I suggest that if you are going to put it into a pump that you diluted this a whole bunch. Also i found the glycerin at Whole foods if that helps at all.

1/4 c. soap flakes (I use Ivory soap and grade it with a cheese grader)
2c. hot water
1/4 c. glycerin
1/2 tsp. of you favorite essential oil. I use lavender but there is anti bacterial stuff like tea tree oils.

1. dissolve the soap flakes in the hot water and let it cool. then stir in the glycerin and oil and let that cool completely.

2. Put into a squeeze bottle like a old dish soap. Remember that this is a concentrate so if you use it straight from the bottle only use about 3 tsp of it in a sink of water.
