Corn starch:

Instructions
1
Gather your ingredients and tools in your workspace. Measure 3 3/4 cups water into the medium sauce pan. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

2
Measure 1 tablespoon of the powdered starch into the small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of COLD water and whisk together until the liquid looks like milk. It's important to use COLD water in this step so the starch doesn't activate and get all gummy.

3
Slowly add the starch mixture to the boiling water, stirring constantly with the whisk. Continue to stir until the liquids are well blended, then reduce heat and let it simmer for one minute. This allows the mixture to completely come together.

4
When the mixture has simmered for one minute, remove the saucepan from the heat. Turn off the burner, and let the liquid starch cool.

5
Once the liquid starch is cool, pour it into your clean spray bottle. It's now ready to use for ironing your clothes
