Procedures
Step 1
You have to make your choice of herbs or flowers and crumble/crush them up. Place them in your mixing bowl. Incase you want to achieve a more concentrated scent for your soap, pick just one single herb. For instance, you can decide to choose to work with either lavender, mint, or both.
Step 2
Once you have your herbs in a bowl, go ahead and pour 1/4th cup of boiling water over your herbs.
Step 3
Once you have your mixture set and done then add 5 or 6 drops of essential oil to the pot of herb mixture.
If you are unsure of which essential oils to choose from, here are some ideas: Peppermint, RoseLemon, Orange, Spearmint, Cinnamon (use sparingly), Jasmine, Bergamot, or YlangYlang.
Note: Keep in mind that you might not want to mix too many different scents, or else you will end up with a product that is too over powering.
