I realize this might be a bit miscategorized, because it's not a food recipe, but it is still a recipe nevertheless. It is for homemade liquid laundry detergent, and if you're tired paying a ton of money for laundry detergent, this is a nice alternative.
Ingredients:
1/3 bar of Zote soap (Ivory soap can do the trick here, too, but I used Zote.)
1/2 cup of Washing Soda (I used Arm and Hammer.)
1/2 cup of Borax
Water
Essential oil (preferably something with a citrus smell, but you don't even need to use essential oil of you don't want to)
Process:
Also, make sure you shake the bottle prior to each use.
The whole process took me about half an hour to make the mixture, so it's not all that time-consuming, either.

Process:
- Grate bar soap into saucepan.
- Add 6 cups of water
- Heat at medium-low and stir until grated bar soap is dissolved into the water
- Once melted, stir in the washing soda and Borax until it is dissolved.
- Take a large bucket and put in 4 cups of hot tap water.
- Pour heated soap mixture from stove into bucket and stir well.
- Add 6 cups of water plus one gallon of water to the bucket and stir well.
- (optional step) Add 12 drops of essential oil and stir
- Allow mixture to sit for 24 hours (The soap will gel at this point)
- Stir well and then put into containers for use.
Also, make sure you shake the bottle prior to each use.
