Mega-Bubbles

This isn't an edible recipe, it's a recipe for fun! I decided to make big bubbles with my grandkids. First, we made mega-bubble wands using dowels and string with instructions found on Pinterest.
Then, I found many different recipes for the bubble solution. I tweaked one until it worked the best and the result was hours of fun.

Several hints... We found the bubbles were more stable in cooler weather. It just so happened we decided to do this on a 95 degrees day and the bubbles burst before they left the wand. We were much more successful on a 80 degree day. Direct sun also made the bubbles burst, so we tried blowing them under a shady tree and in the garage with great success. Another factor is humidity. We live in a dry climate which is also not a friend to big bubbles. In the morning when the humidity was higher, we had more success.
All in all, a tricky process with lots of variables, but the kids had a ton of fun (and so did the adults!)

Ingredients:

6 cups distilled water
1/2 cup blue Dawn liquid dish soap
1/2 cup corn starch
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons vegetable glycerin (ordered from Amazon)

Instructions

Dissolve cornstarch and baking powder in water. Add other ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
This solution works best if allowed to sit overnight.

Pour into a shallow container. Dip and step back to watch the magic happen!
