The Basics of Making Soap, Part 3

The mixture will turn opaque and somewhat brown or tan, and then gradually get lighter. The soap is done when a drop of the soap dripped on the surface of the mixture is supported. It should actually be the consistency of yoghurt or sour cream.

Pour liquid into mold, pie tins, cookie sheets or on strips of tree bark to cool. Once the soap has hardened, it can be cut using a warm knife into bars. If possible store the bars uncovered for a couple of weeks to harden.
