Easy Homemade Liquid Hand Soap from Bar Soap

Reader Contribution by Tammy Kimbler

Let’s talk about liquid hand soap. My family goes through a lot of hand soap with all our cooking, gardening, bike repair, art, play and backyard chickens, not to mention plain old bathing. But liquid soap is expensive, in land-filling disposable containers, frequently loaded with “anti-bacterial” chemicals and a laundry lists of additives. After my recent experience making rendered fat lard and tallow bar soap, I took the leap and made my own liquid hand soap. All you need is a bar of soap and a cheese grater. What could be easier?

Ingredients:

• 1 bar hard soap (think French Milled, Ivory types, or Castile soap)
• 4 to 8 cups water
