Rooibos is a red tea, seaweed and orange blossom seems obviously but I'd love to know how they were used.

It's a beautiful soap. Muy hermosa!! Encantadora!

It is very easy. Replacing water: make a tea infusion defaced from any that you like and that water freeze into cubes and it's the one you'll use with lye. You can brew this tea or use herbs in the soap. I used a package like the one pictured, is a rooibo who has everything and so I enrich the soap

Thanks for that information, I do it that way with my coconut milk. Now I want to try rooibos as well, it's such a nice earthy red. Reminds me of Morocco.

Sometimes people will mix only enough water to dissolve the lye (100g of water for 100g of lye) and then use tea for the rest of the water but put the tea in with the oils. That way the lye doesn't burn the tea.
