Lemon Bar Soap

1. Chop clear and white soap base into 1 inch pieces with a kitchen knife (figure A).

2. Weigh the soap base on a kitchen scale in a microwavable container (figure B). You will need one pound of clear soap and one pound of white soap.

3. Microwave the clear and white soap for six minutes to melt the bases together.

4. Add yellow colorant to the melted soap base, stirring to blend.

5. Add a few drops of lemon fragrance to the melted soap base.

6. Pour the liquid lemon soap into the mold through a kitchen sieve (figure C). Let it cool for an hour.

7. Unmold the lemon soap and chop it into bars. Sprinkle a little cornstarch on top for realistic-looking lemon bars (figure D).
