Great British Bake Off winner reveals surprise use for conkers
Nancy Birtwhistle says about 10 conkers make 1 litre of detergent, and the leftover pulp can be composted.
- Sunday Times bestselling author and Great British Bake Off winner Nancy Birtwhistle, from Hull, has shared a recipe for making 'free' laundry detergent using conkers as the autumn season begins.
- Freezing conkers before use makes them easier to work with and prevents the finished detergent from separating, Birtwhistle explained, adding that she tends to freeze them for later use.
- The recipe requires using around 10 conkers per litre, covering the chunks with boiling water in a jug, and leaving them to soak before straining the liquid into a bottle.
- For washing, Birtwhistle suggests pouring 50ml of the homemade detergent into a cap and placing it in the drum, while recommending a cold wash at 20 degrees.
- Leftover conker pulp can be composted for environmental benefit, and users can add a few drops of perfume to the detergent if desired to enhance its scent.
