- 1 stick blender
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 3lb soap mold
Ingredients
- 10 ounces coconut oil
- 8 ounces olive oil
- 6 ounces cocoa butter
- 6 ounces avocado oil
- 4 ounces sweet almond oil
- 4.6 ounces lye
- 11 ounces brewed coffee , chilled
- 2-3 tablespoons used coffee ganules
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 0.5 ounce coffee oil
Instructions
- Combine coconut oil, olive oil, cocoa butter, avocado oil, and sweet almond oil in a large stainless steel pot. Heat on medium to low to melt cocoa butter. Cool to around 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use 2-3 Tablespoons of coffee to make 11 ounces of coffee. I just make a few cups of coffee and pour them into my container to weigh it. Drink or pour out any excess. Allow the coffee to cool. Save the used coffee granules.
- Weigh the lye in a zip close bag. Take the lye water and coffee water outside. Wearing gloves, eye protection, and a charcoal mask, pour the lye into the coffee water and stir until dissolved. Do not breathe in the fumes that will come off of it for a few minutes. Allow to cool to around 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
- When oils and lye water are cooled, pour lye water into oils and stir with a stick blender on and off until it comes to light trace (starts to thicken). om the mold and let cure for 3-6 weeks so that it hardens and last longer.
- Add coffee granules, coffee oil, and cocoa powder and blend well.
- Scrape soap into a prepared mold and insulate unless your home is 75 or more degrees Fahrenheit. Allow to set for 24 hours. If it's still too soft to remove from the mold, wait another 12-24 hours and check again.
- Remove from the mold and cut if needed. Allow to cure for 3-6 weeks to harden.
