Earl Grey Tea Soap with Honey

     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.

Homemade Soap with Tea, Honey and Lemon

     I absolutely love homemade soap. The creamy texture, the awesome scents, the wholesome ingredients, just draw a body in!   My first attempt at soap making
actually turned out a winning recipe that is still an all time favorite.
     I made this soap with real brewed green tea, yummy real honey, and meyer lemon essential oil. It smells incredibly awesome.  It makes really nice bubbles and the scent as you shower is amazing.  I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this soap.  The fresh scent of the tea lingers on your skin, lovely.   I substituted the water in the soap recipe for brewed green tea. Worked like a charm.

This is a very natural bar of soap, no colorants, or chemicals, very yummy with the added bonus of real honey which is naturally antibacterial, a great cleanser, and a humectant, which means it draws moisture in and helps retain it.      More.......
