11. Cait's Citrus Polka dot New Year's Eve Pound(31/12/2025)
Recipe Instructions
Cait's recipe.
Shooting in the dark a wee bit here as we're using up the oils and essential oils that are left.
Hoping for a citrus/orangy type scent and that the poppies will polka dot the soap. Making a cake loaf mould for slicing. Using Hot Process in Crock pot this time.
We made 2 loafs, a 700g and 1400 g - one with the poppies and the smaller one without.
