M & P Gardner's Soap

 

12 oz Clear M & P

..5 oz Grated Beeswax

1/2 T Castor Oil

1 T Grated Dried Lemon Peel

1 T Grated Dried Orange Peel

1/4 C Lightly Toasted Oatmeal

1/2 T Dried Rosemary

2 tsp. Orange EO

1 tsp. Tea tree EO

few drops of Rosemary EO

 

 

1. Slice M & P in small chunks. Add this, the grated beeswax and the

castor oil to a double boiler, cover, and let melt completely.

(Never let the temp get over 160 degrees.)

2. While all this is slowly melting put the oatmeal and dried

rosemary

in a small food processor and grind to a medium course consistancy.

Add the grated lemon & orange peel and set aside. You should have

just

slightly over 1/8th cup all together.

 

3. When the M & P & beeswax are fully melted remove from heat and

transfer

to a 2-cup glass measuring cup--easier to pour into the molds with

this.

 

4. Let mixture cool until fine skin appears then add EO's and stir

in

well.

 

5. Let mixture cool until skin forms again and then add the oatmeal

&

herb mixture.

 

6. Keep stirring periodically as mixture cools. You will notice that

as the mixture cools the oatmeal & herbs start to stay more

suspended

and don't sink to the bottom.

 

7. When your satisfied that the majority of the herbs are staying

suspended pour into molds.

 

8. Immediatly put mold into the freezer for 15 minutes then remove.

 

9. When the soap gets to room temp. pop out of molds and package

as you usually do.
