Vegetable-base glycerin liquid lends a nice consistency and sweetness, but is completely optional. I definitely recommend using some kind of flavoring.

Basic Ratio: 6 parts baking soda : 1 part vegetable based glycerin : 1 part hydrogen peroxide solution : flavor to taste This makes a nice paste. Most over the counter hydrogen peroxide solutions are not suitable for ingestion. Tara Brach - Meditation, Audio Dharma, Podcasts.
