Easy Liquid Soap

EASY SOAP LIQUID
http://tipnut.com/how-to-make-homemade-soap/
1 bar soap (6 oz)
1 TBS honey
1 tsp glycerin
Grate bar into small flakes, toss in blender.
Whip in 1 cup boiling water.
Add 1/2 cup room temperature water and stir in blender.
Stir in honey and glycerin.
Allow to cool (15 minutes) then whip again.
Mixture should be 2 cups at this point. Top with cool water until it measures between 5 and 6 cups, whip.
Pour into containers and allow to cool (do not put lids or caps on yet).
After an hour, close containers. Mixture will thicken up.
Shake before using as needed.
Optional: A herbal infusion can be used, just strain first.

Another version:
Save leftover bits (or grate one) then toss in a glass mason jar and top with boiling water (about double the amount of soap bits). Stir then seal with lid. Shake jar a few times while it’s cooling to get rid of any clumps. Once cooled, stir well and add a few drops of essential oil if a scented version is desired.
Pour into bottle then top with water as needed to get the right consistency (shake well). If for some reason it’s too thin, simply melt a bit of grated soap in a little hot water then combine with first mixture to thicken.
