Ingredients
- 45 oz goat milk
- 20 oz lye
- 67 oz olive oil
- 36 oz coconut oil
- 13 oz sunflower oil
- 20 oz tallow
- 12 oz honey
- 1 oz essential oil (I like lavender)
Instructions
##All soap recipes are listed by weight
- Freeze the goat milk in ice cube trays
- I like to heat my oils and tallow over my woodstove but you could use a cookstove on low heat or a crockpot to melt and combine the oils tallow.
- Mix in the honey
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly while preparing lye mixture
- Use an immersion blender to crush the goat milk ice cubes until slushy
- Next add the lye to the frozen goat milk 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 goat milk. If you add the goat milk 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.
- Mix with an immersion blender until it comes to trace.
- Pour into molds and keep as cool as possible for 48 hours. I like to make this soap in the winter so I can keep it outside while it sets.
- Remove from molds and cut the bars to size.
- Let the bars cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before using.
