I read upon a recipe on how to make your own soy milk using a blender so I picked uo some soybeans and black soybeans. The recipe worked and I got nice and rich soy milk. Then I started to think I can use it for soap!
Soybean and black soybean.
Finished soy milk. Very, very rich. Slightly sweet even without any sugar.
If you also want to use soy milk, I froze mine into ice cubes and it thaw super duper slow and the eventual lye solution is quite chunky. I would use a 3:1 soy milk ice : water ratio next time.
I ordered some acrylic dividers but they won't be here for a while due to the holiday season so I just cut off a piece of cardboard, wrap and glue baking paper around it, and secure with tape. I had to hold it down for the soap to reach a heavier trace but overall it worked well.
Fun fact: soy milk is usually refered to as "soy sauce" or "soy juice" here in China and "milk" is usually only refering to cow milk. There is a drink called "soy milk" which is a blend of soy milk and cow milk. Imagine my confusion when I see there is no actual milk in the soy milks in U.S.
