Basic Oatmeal & Honey Goat's Milk Soap

* 6 cups goats milk

* 4 cups lard (2 pounds)

* 2/3 cups standard can Red Devil brand lye

* 2 cops dry oatmeal (run through the blender)(I have made this recipe with and without oatmeal)

* 1/2 cup honey


Carefully mix the milk and lye in a stainless container. Allow to cool to 85 degrees. Stir in the refined oatmeal and honey. Mix well. Ward lard to 85 degrees and slowly add to milk mixture. Mix for 15 minutes, let stand 5 minutes. Mix again for 5 minutes. Watch closely as soap takes shape suddenly. When thick like honey pour into prepared milds. Let set 24-48 hours until set. Cut into bars and air cure for 3 to 4 weeks.
