Make it Monday - Liquid Soap

This week I finally got around to trying my own shower gel.

First I used this recipe to make my own Castile Soap. It didn't go quite to plan. I think I'd gotten the temperatures confused since I was using an electric hob rather than in a crock pot. It took seven hours rather than three for the 'cook' and then I still had to dilute it after some more hours on the next day. It is runnier than I expected but it is a learning process.

I then used this recipe to mix the final shower gel. I love the freshness but do find it too runny. I'm hoping time or tweeking the recipe will help in future.
