Recipe instructions
- Heat the olive oil on low flame to approximately 80-85 F.
- Dissolve the lye in the water.
- Cool to about 70-75 F.
- Pour the lye solution in a thin, steady stream, into the oil with slow, even stirring.
- You shouldn't be heating the mixture at this time.
- Continue stirring until a thick, honeylike texture is obtained.
- This will take 10-20 minutes.
- Note: If the soap mixture does not become thick within 30 minutes, and there is a greasy layer on top, it may be too warm.
- If this happens, set the container in cool water and keep stirring from the sides and the bottom.
- Contrastingly, if the mixture is lumpy, it may be too cold.
- If this happens, set it in a pan of warm water and stir until the lumps disappear.
- Pour the thickened soap mixture into your molds.
- Cover.
- Keep warm for a minium of 24 hours.
- This allows the saponification process to take place slowly and will prevent the mixture from separating.
- You can wrap your soap molds in an old blanket.
- When the soap is set, remove it from the molds and cut it into bars.
- Allow the soap to age for atleast 2 weeks in a dry place.
- Note: If the soap is crumbly or has streaks of grease, it may be reclaimed as follows: Cut the soap into fine pieces.
- Add 2 cups of water and dissolve over low flame.
- Stir occasionally.
- When the lumps have disappeared, increase the heat and boil until the soap appears thick.
- Pour soap in molds and continue as explained above.
