Making SoapNut Hair Cleanser - Part 1
This recipe from MilkySilky was my base.
- I measured 6 cups of tap water, and 30 soap nuts.
- I used my kitchen shears to crack each nut.
- I rinsed out the air tight bottle I plan to use; it's an old juice container with the plastic label taken off.
- I put the water onto high for it to boil and added the cracked nuts.
- As soon as the water hit a bubbling boil, the soap nuts released bubbles.
- Very quickly they all started bubbling, releasing the good stuff.
- I covered the pot and turned it down to low.
- I set the timer for 15 minutes.
- I took a peek and all the bubbles disappeared when I raised the pot lid. Only a few mins to go and it's not very dark :(
- I'm going to add 5 more mins.. Lets see...
- 2 mins into my extra time and I can smell it, I'll just take it off the heat now.
- Leaving it overnight to cool.
- Took a peek an hour later and it looks very strange. I'll take a pic in the morning :)
And with all this liquid soap nut extract, I may as well try these recipes.
