15 drops each of Tea Tree and peppermint oil? If not, what's a good ratio? I personally don't like the smell of Tea Tree all that much. Does the peppermint balance that smell out?

I'm curious about the question of how to make this into a gel. What kind of liquid that's cheap could effectively dissolve the ingredients and suspend them that would also safely clean dishes and not add yucky stuff to the sewers? Other than glycerin, I have no idea.
