Thank you for a great recipe

I did my soap today – I also infused the oil with dried calendula! It turned out to be a beautiful color! So my soap has a great color and aroma, too! Thank you for a great recipe

My soap turned out great

I made two batches of this recipe the other night, and my soap turned out great. I don’t think I’ll go back to freezing my goat’s milk again. So good not to be waiting half the night for temperatures.
