My first 2 attempts I had batter that was like oatmeal! This 3rd attempt I actually mixed my lye water into the oils at a higher temp. I was around 130 degrees I think. Every time I let the lye water cool down I had batter that got thick too fast.
My first attempt at this was a complete fail as was the second. This is the result of my 3rd attempt. It was fun learning something new.
I used lemongrass essential oil and poured over a bowl. My colors morphed.
I guess that is what it would have been if I left it in the crockpot. With all the black it would have just been a gross color so I opted for putting it into molds instead.
