Ashes WAS A question about high quality

[Guest guest]

It is going to be quite difficult explaining in English, but let us try:

I get the ashes, put them inside a plastic bucket which I made holes in the

bottom with nail and hammer. Put boiling water on the ashes and percolate

the dark juice of them.

This ash juice (I don't know the proper name for decuada or barrela in

English) is like lye. The rest is all the same .

Give it a try and Enjoy!

[Dave:] That’s very interesting. Thank you, Ane! Do you do this because of

some qualities this method brings to the soap, or is it because you have a

hard time finding lye? What kind of wood do you use for the ashes?

Hello Dave,

 

You will find that this was the ONLY way to make soap before the advent of

modern packaged lye -

 

I remember my parents making soap like this for laundry when I was a child.

Well, Naturally

[Dave:] You’re absolutely right. My wife also remembers making soap this

way. I just didn’t know folks still did it that way.
