Can I do it while all ice, or do I have to wait until it's like a slushie? I'd like to do it just for a 4 bar recipe, so that I can experiment adding herbs and the like. Anyone got ideas on a 4-bar recipe? The usual recipe I use is with olive oil, coconut oil. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hello, Goatsmilk, soap is very easy. Using your usual soap recipe, substitute goatsmilk for the water. Be sure and freeze your goatsmilk to a slushy stage so the lye doesn't burn it. Proceed as usual. If using powdered goatsmilk it can be done differently. I determine how much powder it would take to mix with the water to reconstitute enough for the recipe. I save enough water back to make a paste and refrigerate it. Then I mix the lye etc. After trace, (Or the cook if I am doing hp) I mix the cold paste into the soap. Hope that helps. I love goatsmilk soap.
