Ingredients
- 45 oz brewed coffee
- 20 oz lye
- 67 oz olive oil
- 36 oz coconut oil
- 24 oz almond oil
- 18 oz shea butter
- 3 oz cocoa butter
Instructions
**All soap recipes are listed by weight
- Freeze the coffee in ice cube trays
- I like to heat my oils and butters over my woodstove but you could use a cookstove on low heat or a crockpot to melt and combine the oils and butters.
- Remove from heat and let cool while preparing lye mixture
- Use an immersion blender to crush the coffee ice cubes until slushy
- Next add the lye to the frozen coffee little by little while gently stirring. You should do this in a WELL VENTILATED area and wear protective SAFETY GLASSES and GLOVES! Always add the lye to the coffee. If you add the coffee to the lye it can explode and cause burns. Keep vinegar on hand to rinse your skin immediately in case of lye burns.
- Once the lye has dissolved, add this mixture to the oils.
- Using an immersion blender, blend until it goes to trace
- Pour into molds and keep in molds at room temperature for 48 hours.
- Remove from molds and cut the bars to size.
- Let the bars cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before using.
