Method for making soapnut liquid

1. Brush the soap nuts clean with a toothbrush and soak them in boiling water. Too dry soap nuts are not easy to swell and need to be soaked for 2 to 3 days to fully swell.

2. Pound the swollen soap beans. The more swollen they are, the easier it is to pound them. It is best to use a stone pestle to pound them.

3. Add 10 times the amount of water to the mashed soap nuts and heat it. The soap nuts water will easily bubble after boiling, so boil it on low heat before the water boils. Add some brown sugar (to help the beneficial microorganisms ferment after the soap nuts water is stored), stir, and boil for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat when the soap nuts liquid is thicker.

4. Let it cool, filter and bottle (preferably in glass or porcelain bottles). Try to keep it in the refrigerator when the temperature is not low. The soapnut liquid boiled for the first time is thicker and more suitable for washing your hair.
