And a minty one at that.
I went a little overboard with this batch. There’s a lot going on in these.
Goat milk, ground oats, crushed mint and parsley leaves, colored with sage powder, and scented with lemongrass and eucalyptus EOs.
I didn’t have any issues with it though! Besides a very small amount of cracking on the top, the whole thing was hard enough to cut after only 7 hours! I was so surprised.
I did add some salt to my milky lye mixture though, because the last batch that I made (apple cider soap) was pretty soft. So I didn’t want this batch to be as soft.
I wasn’t too fond of the smell when I cut the bars. It wasn’t a rancid milk smell, just a warm milk smell. Reminded me of the smell of breastmilk, actually.
Again, not a bad smell ... Just, different I guess.
Anyways. I like them.
I now have a good amount of leftover goat milk to use up.
