Kathy,

What a wonderful idea! I haven’t tried it, so I really don’t know. It sounds like it would work. If you try it, please share your results with us.

Thanks!

Re Alkanet Powder ~ is it possible to put the powder in a heat-seal tea bag, then drop it into your canning jar to avoid having to strain the oil? Or will the tea bag prolong the coloring of the oil process? Thank you ;o)

Comment on Using Mint Leaves in Soap by Ellen Peacock

Jeff,

Although mint leaves are fragrant, once in soap there is very little if any scent left in them whether you steep them or not. Steeping the mint leaves helps remove some the oils from the leaves so the brown spots around the leaves don’t happen. If you want you can use the tea left from steeping (once the tea is cooled down) as the liquid in your lye solution. For fragrance add mint essential or fragrance oil, because the leaves alone will probably be disappointing.

I was curious if you steeped the leafs wouldn’t you loose the fragrance?

Thank you! I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now and I finally found this! I am a new cp soaper and I have collected several wooden boxes to use as molds, so this information is priceless to me!
