Instructions

##All soap recipes are listed by weight

1. Make a strong batch of turmeric ginger tea. I like to use fresh turmeric and ginger roots to make my tea. Chill tea in refrigerator for several hours before proceeding
2. I like to heat my oils over my woodstove but you could use a cookstove on low heat or a crockpot to melt and combine the oils.
3. Remove from heat and let cool while preparing lye mixture
4. Add the lye to the tea 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 tea. If you add the tea to the lye it can explode and cause burns. Keep vinegar on hand to rinse your skin immediately in case of lye burns.
5. Once the lye has dissolved, add this mixture to the oils.
6. Mix with an immersion blender until it comes to trace.
7. Add the ground turmeric and ginger
8. Pour into molds and keep in molds at room temperature 48 hours.
9. Remove from molds and cut the bars to size.
10. Let the bars cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before using.
