Making iced tea and tea soap is one of my favorite things. These cold processed bar soaps are vegan, palm-free, and fragranced with essential oils! Learn how to do multiple batches of soap in the same sitting and check out my recipes below.

The recipe I used: Enter into soapcalc.net for your size mold.
1.7:1 iced tea:lye ratio, 4% superfat
28% olive oil
33% coconut oil
10% shea butter
15% cocoa butter
8% grapeseed oil
6% castor oil
Optional: 1 tsp / lb of oils sodium lactate & cane sugar (or add the sugar in with the hot tea) to harden bar & add bubbly lather
Optional: 1 T kaolin clay / lb of oils (I added it to the Chai but not the Lemongrass Green Tea)
Chai Tea Soap:
Chai tea for lye solution.
Mix in Chai tea powder and cocoa powder to darken. I used a peppercorn medley & pumpkin pie spice (just a light dusting) on top for botanicals.
Essential oil blend: small amounts of cardamom, clove, cinnamon bark, nutmeg, ginger, and anise (eocalc.com says not even to use some of these so check safe amounts on there and do very small amounts for what works for you as personal use) - smells very much like a spice shop!
Lemongrass Green Tea:
Lemongrass Green Tea for lye solution.
Mix in green tea powder to darken swirl. Top with the lemongrass sticks that are leftover from steeping the tea.
Essential oil blend: You can use a green tea fragrance (Nature's Oil and New Directions Aromatics both have one that I like) or stick with Lemongrass and Palmarosa Essential oils. 2/3 palmarosa or fragrance, 1/3 lemongrass. Enter into eocalc.com for your size batch to find a safe amount.
Note: I make these videos for your entertainment (and my own!). Please make sure you understand proper/safe handling of lye before attempting to make soap. I am not responsible for the results of your soap making.
