3. Stir over medium heat until the soap completely dissolves.

6. Combine all remaining ingredients and warm concentrated dishwashing liquid into a large storage container using a funnel.
7. Cap container and shake gently to mix.
8. Allow dish soap to cure for about a day before using. If your soap turns into a gelatinous goo after curing, try mixing with a stick blender until a creamy consistency is achieved.
