I rebatched an old batch of Milk, honey and oatmeal soap into a new batch of Creamy Cinnamon Chai, after reading about the process here. For the original batch, I had substituted 1% cow's milk for water and of course it turned brown when I added the lye and smelled awful. Then I OP the batch in the mold, and the honey probably made it bubble over- what a mess. The resulting soap had too much oatmeal and it was weeping oil, even after several weeks.
Lessons learned from that first batch, but at least this one was saved into something useable. Not so pretty, but it smells lovely. Not weeping or oily and the scraps lathered beautifully.
