Making homemade soap can be a rewarding and creative process. This year I am excited to dabble more into working with herbs and flowers in the kitchen. In this blog I am explaining steps on how to make herb soap. For this DIY project I chose to use lavender.
Ingredients: 2 teaspoon dried herbs ( your choice), ΒΌ cup water, several drops essential oil ( your choice) , 2 cups shredded pure soap( find at your local grocery store)
Directions: in a saucepan, combine herbs, water, and essential oil to boil. Simmer for 30 min then add soap, min thoroughly. Cool for 15 min then min with hands. Divide into 6 parts, roll into balls and dry on wax paper for 2 days.
With this project I had chosen lavender as my herb and for the essential oil. The soap I used was shredded Dove bar.
Remember, this is a basic recipe, and you can experiment with different oils, scents, and additives to create your own unique soaps.
