Storage bottle
Funnel
Ingredients
3
soap berries
1
cup
of water
Instructions
Bring the water to the boil with the soap berries inside.
Break up the berries with a wooden spatula or spoon and continue to boil for 20-30 minutes. I like to keep it at a low boil so it simmers.
Remove the soap nut soap from the heat to cool before straining it into a small container for storage.
(Note: These first three steps make a concentrated soap nut
soap
, which will need diluting in the following steps to turn it into shampoo.)
To prepare soap nut shampoo for your hair, add half an ounce of the soap nut ‘soap’ you’ve just made to a spray (or a squeezable bottle would do.)
Top off the bottle with 4 ounces or thereabouts of water, secure the lid, and shake well.
Notes
Store shampoo in the fridge for up to a month.
