Method of making lye water:

To make it with straw, find an open space and burn the straw, then let it cool down naturally after it burns completely. Let it cool down naturally. After it cools down, put it in a vessel. The pre-prepared bag over the steamer, the best use of several layers of cloth, so as to avoid the ash leakage down the basin.

Next in the bottom of the bag to lay a layer of straw, and then the straw ash (or grass ash) into the bag on the straw. Do all this while you can boil water, the amount of water than the need to use more than half of the alkaline water.

Finally, put the wooden pot on the bottom of the steamer (with lye).
