In these challenging times, creating your own essentials can be both practical and cost-effective. This Homemade Lemon Soap recipe is simple to make and offers a refreshing, clean scent, perfect for everyday use.
Ingredients:
500 ml of water
500 g of sugar
70 ml of fresh lemon juice
500 ml of alcohol (preferably 70% isopropyl or ethanol)
2 bars of lemon-scented glycerin soap (200g each)
Step-by-Step Preparation:
- Grate the Soap Bars:
Using a grater, finely grate the two bars of lemon glycerin soap. This helps the soap melt evenly and quickly.
- Melt the Soap:
Place the grated soap in a large frying pan or heat-resistant container.
Set up a double boiler by placing the frying pan over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the soap melts gently without direct heat.
- Combine the Ingredients:
Once the soap has melted completely, add the water, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cook the mixture on low heat for about 2 minutes while stirring continuously to ensure the sugar dissolves.
- Add the Alcohol:
Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Slowly pour in the alcohol while stirring constantly to ensure it blends well with the mixture.
- Pour into Molds:
Transfer the liquid soap mixture into clean plastic jars or soap molds.
Let the soap sit at room temperature for approximately 6 hours or until it hardens completely.
- Ready to Use:
Once set, your homemade lemon soap is ready for use! Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness.
