Time
Required: 10 minutes of hands-on time
A
bar of soap
A
knife or grater
Water
A
sauce pan or pot
Essential
oil (optional)
Soap
coloring (optional)
Empty
soap dispensers
Here's
How:
Grate
or finely chop a bar of soap (about four ounces of soap).
Bring
four cups of water to a boil.
Turn
off the heat, and add the soap. Stir to melt the soap. Continue
stirring until the mixture is fully combined. At this point the
mixture will be very liquidy.
Allow
the mixture to cool for at least 15 minutes. Then, stir again. At
this point, the soap should be slightly thicker.
Allow
to cool for another several hours or overnight.
Stir
to check the consistency. If it seems too liquidy, reheat and add
more soap. If it seems too thick; reheat and add more water.
Once
you're satisfied with your soap, add a few drops of essential oil and
coloring, if desired.
Then,
pour your soap into dispensers, and enjoy.
