Steve and I are having so much fun sharing Giant Bubbles with the kiddos at the Monmouth Music in the Park Series Summer 2022 sponsored by the Monmouth Business Association!
I make up a batch of the bubble solution each week.
Perfect Giant Soap Bubble Recipe
1 heaping tsp guar powder, food thickener (2-3 grams)
7 tbs rubbing alcohol (100 ml)
8 cups of distilled water (2 liters)
1 tsp baking powder (4 grams)
7 tbs Dawn Professional Detergent (100 ml)
Directions
Mix the guar powder with the alcohol and stir until there are no clumps.
Combine the alcohol/guar slurry with the water and mix gently for 10 minutes. Let it sit for a bit so the guar hydrates. Then mix again. The water should thicken slightly, like thin soup or unset gelatin.
Add the baking powder and stir.
Add the Dawn Professional Detergent and stir gently, to avoid causing the mixture to foam.
Dip a giant bubble wand with a fibrous string into the mixture until it is fully immersed and slowly pull the string out. Wave the want slowly or blow on it to create giant soap bubbles.
