Hi! Some time ago I published an entry about making soap from used olive oil. Today I will publish my recipe to transform this soap into liquid soap. I use it in the shower and also to wash my hands. It is not so foamy as commercial soap, but it is very pleasant and it cleans very well.
El primer paso es pesar el jabón y rallarlo
The first step is to weight and grate it.
En una cazuela se pone un volumen de agua igual al peso del jabón multiplicado por 3,5. Yo suelo añadir un poco más, siempre se pierde un poquito por evaporación. Y además añado alguna hierba aromática para darle olor al jabón, me gusta mucho añadir hojas de romero.
The volume of water obtained from multiplying the weight of soap by 3.5 is added in a pan. I usually add a little more water, some is always lost by evaporation. And also I add some herbs to give some nice smell to the soap. I love rosemary smell, so I put some rosemary leaves.
Se deja a fuego lento 5 ó 10 minutos para hacer una infusión. Después se añade el jabón rallado y se remueve cada poco, para que el jabón vaya disolviéndose. Cuando ya está disuelto (se verá un líquido transparente en la cazuela) se deja hervir despacio durante unos 15 minutos.
Rosemary and water are kept in low heat for 5 or 10 minutes to make an infusion. Then, the grated soap is added, and it should be removed to dissolve it in the infusion. When the soap is totally dissolved it must be slowly boiled for 10-15 minutes.
Después, solo queda filtrarlo para eliminar las hierbas del jabón, y dejarlo enfriar. ¡Ya está preparado!
Then, it has only to be filtered to remove the rosemaye leaves, and let it cold. And it's ready!!
