Most recipes call for baking soda... I have tried this and honestly, it has very little effect. I have heard of concentrating the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) by laying it out on a tray covered with foil and placing it in a low oven to dehydrate. I haven't tried it, but from what I know it strengthens the baking soda and creates a stronger alkali. It's not a perfect substitute for lye water but it's likely the closest available without a chemistry degree! I hope this helps :)

My understanding is 1 Tbsp baking soda to 1 cup of water. it won't be quite the same though.
