May I have your best homemade bubble recipe/formula?

[battlemaiden]

I'm off to buy glycerin at the local drug store down the street since all the glycerin-free recipes I tried yesterday were failures.

Who has a tried and true successful bubble formula?

Thanks so much.

I'm willing to bribe with positive rep points? ;)

Mine's not too fancy--fill bucket with water, squirt in DAWN dishwashing liquid, pour in some glycerin! That's all!

Uh, maybe this is not what you are looking for but are you talking about the bubbles that you blow with a small wand that has a circle at the end?

If so that is easy as pie. Just use liquid dishwashing detergent and water. I don't have a recipe. I just kind of guesstimate. I'm thinking maybe 1 part detergent to 4 parts water? stir well. You could always add more detergent if the bubbles are too fragile or a film won't form across the wand. If the liquid is too thick add a little water.

I've never even tried glycerin.

I've got one:

water - 1 to 2 parts
detergent (Ultra Dawn dish soap is supposed to work best) - 1 part
glycerine - 1 part
