That’s interesting that you use lavender tea in the soap. I guess maybe that is normal I’ve just never looked into how to make soap. :) Looks like a fun recipe to try.

Hi Cheri,

This is a super easy recipe for soap. It makes a nice hard bar with good lather too. Might take a few weeks (or more if you have the time) to “cure” (this will make it harder too).

Lavender powder is just super finely ground lavender buds. If you use the actual buds of the lavender flower, they tend to turn brown and look very similar to mouse poops (ick).. so you could either get some powder, or sprinkle the buds on top after you’ve poured it into the mold (they’ll likely stay prettier that way).

Any additives you use that aren’t *very* finely ground will be a bit scratchy when you use it – you can even feel the finely ground, to a degree.

Experiment with small batches and have fun.

This will be my very first attempt at making soap. I love lavender and grow lots of it in our garden. Do you think this recipe is a good choice for my first time? What is lavender powder?

Many thanks,

Cheri
