This is fundamentally unsafe. Fats need to be measured with a scale, oil of sassafras is toxic, and it specifies no measurement other than a can of lye. This is a recipe for a disasterous chemical burn. Look up a safer recipe and learn some more about soaping on the Internet forums before attempting this.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
