Following on from part one: Making Woodash Lye, this video uses potash lye that has been stored for a full year to make both soft and hard soap, taking inspiration from early Eighteenth Century documented recipes.
This is not modern soapmaking! It relies on a lot of manual testing which should only be attempted with caution once you are comfortable with the materials being used.
I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
