Does anyone remember making NaCl (common salt) in school science.
Sodium hydroxide (diliute) and Hydrochloric acid (dilute). Mix them till the litmus paper was purple then boil off the water till the salt xtals precipitated.

Gee that was 65 years ago I suspect that those chemicals are far to dangerous to let students near these days.
