Third in this series of Steeped Tea soaps. I am in aww of steeped tea. Introduced to me through local networking. My Steeped Tea consultant Julie McGowan has brought me into the realm of drinking exotic teas and introduced me in the thought of making soaps with it. Love love love. This soap is made with the steeped tea Harvest Spice and it tastes and smells so Delish.
The photo is sideways but here's the labtl of ingredients in this tea. Using my new fav soap recipe olive, coconut, palm, avocado, sweet almond oils, rainwater, (fresh collected), sodium hydroxide. It's a beautiful conditioning soap. With brewed tea it's exfoliating as well.
I used little ceasar dog food containers, sterilzed of course, for the soap mold. These make a nice size bar of soap have a pretty design from the ripples on the sides and the soap pops out nicely. In the above photo you can see the beautiful caramel colour the soap turned to from subbing the water with the tea. Beautiful!!! Before pouring the soap I sprinkled finely ground tea into each container so the tops would be covered with tea leaves.
I designed with a skewer, a leaf pattern and then sprinkled finely ground harvest spice tea on top.
After 24 hours I got these!
A beautiful Harvest Moon formed on each one! That was not even planned! But how perfect for this soap. The tea on the top side is dark and black it stained the sides of the bar too and looks fabulous. I added a caramel cider fragrance to this batch and it's fitting. Warm and yet awakening! With a pumpkin pie soap together would make a beautiful hostess gift!!! Fitting for Thanksgiving!!!
Here are the two sides. The back is beautiful too with the tea leaf design on the back! Retail $5.50 cdn. Love them. Thanks for once again stopping in and your interest. Until next time. Your fav Soap Lady! Bye bye
