Hi,
the father of a friend of mine regularly spends time in Ghana (I think) helping out, and asked if I could come up with a recipe that would be easy to produce locally, with a distinct lack of specialised equipment like electronic scales.
The big obstacle being lack of sodium hydroxide or potatssium hydroxide in purified form. So, we're looking at leeching ashes.
I have asked what oils might be easily available, as a starting point.
Anyone got any idea's or suggestions on how to best tackle this? As close to a 'recipe' as possible is the ultimate goal, but I can probably come up with something with suggestions. Would a variant of pioneer soap work, do you think? (Assuming tallow and lard are not available).
