Sweet Lemongrass Cold Processed Soap
Recipe Instructions
This was a variation of a recipe from Beekeeper's Wife that was not fully spelled out due to her cold process soap blend that she sells. The recipe calls for 5 oz of coconut milk and 10 oz of water with 8.7 oz of lye. I will alter her recipe. My recipe calls for 17.58 oz of water. I will use 10 ounces of water and 7.58 oz of coconut milk. I will add 1.5 tsp of sugar at the end to make the soap suds better.
