Serves: 3 bars
Ingredients
  • 12 oz. melt and pour goat's milk soap base
  • 60 drops (1/2 tsp.) coffee essential oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped out (optional)
  • ¼ cup whole coffee beans
Instructions
  1. Prepare soap molds by sprinkling whole coffee beans in the bottom of the cavities.
  2. Grate soap base with a grater (it’s nice to use one that is dedicated to soap-making). In a double boiler or a glass bowl placed securely over a pot of water, melt grated soap base. Stir constantly with a popsicle stick or thin wooden dowel while it is melting.
  3. Remove from heat. Add coffee essential oil, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour melted soap into the mold. The coffee beans may float to the top, and that’s okay!
  5. Allow to cool at room temperature until hardened. Pop out of the soap mold. If you have trouble getting it out, stick it in the freezer for 5 minutes and then it should come out without a problem.
