Notes
While there are different ways to emulsify essential oils, not all are as effective as others. This post on emulsifying essential oils goes into some of that information.
If you aren't able to use alcohol for some reason, then a hydrosol is a good idea or you could use glycerin instead. As mentioned in the post referenced above, glycerin isn't a great emulsifier, but it's better than nothing.
