Catalytic Scent Lampe Fuel - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    12 ounces rubbing alcohol (90% isopropyl-alcohol)
    1/2 teaspoon scented oil (essential oil)
Preparation
    IMPORTANT: You must use a 90% strength isopropyl, or rubbing, alcohol. The 70% isopropyl alcohol contains too much water in the solution, and will not burn. You can find the 90% strength at drugstores on the same shelf next to the 70% solution.
    ALSO: Use the best undiluted quality oil as you can -- to check for purity, place one drop on a sheet of clean paper. The drop should completey evaporate if the essential oil is pure. If it leaves a greasy, oily spot, select another oil.
    CONVERSION NOTE: I measure my essential oils in ML, not OZ or other units. 1/2 teaspoon equals approximately 2ML.
    Open a 12oz bottle of 90% isopropyl alcohol.
    Add the essential oil.
    Screw the cap back on. Shake to mix, and you're done!
