Anyone trying the recipe, please be sure to read through all of the responses contained in this discussion as any mixture needs to be at least 60% alcohol (taking into account that the rubbing alcohol you can find in drugstores, etc., typically is only 70%). The link provided by Jan DeWaters from the World Health Organization is very detailed.  https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf

All the best.
