I just made this, fresh as the morning,
Earl Grey tea soap. I added real honey to the recipe along with bees wax for the fresh scent and the excellent qualities they bring. I steeped 12 oz. of strong Earl Grey tea for the liquid needed in the recipe, along with Olive oil, Coconut oil, Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Grapeseed oil, and soybean/cottonseed oil. I had such good luck with my first batch of tea soap, that I pretty much stayed with the basic same oils.
This soap smells dewy fresh, the earl grey tea is subtle with a hint of citrus. Lovely. Great fluffy lather. Natural color, nothing added.

For my exact recipe proportions look in comments.
NOTE: in the recipe listed in the comments section I neglected to say that the lye was measured in ounces.
My apologies. |
