This sounds great! These would work better than many store brands. There are a lot of "natural" products out there, but the vitamins etc. are greatly reduced or even ruined the moment you load it up with preservatives. Just be sure to make small batches...or even single use batches so that way you benefit from all the good stuff ;0)
