Place soap nuts in the small muslin bag. Or wrap the soap nuts in cheesecloth and tie together with a piece of kitchen twine.

Place the soap nuts in a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and, without removing the soap nuts, let cool completely.

- Store in the fridge and use within a month.
