Teach Soap

Hi,

I've been making goat milk soaps and like the idea of maybe adding some coffee. If I use the spent grounds for exfoliating will that give off a coffee scent? And if I add just the coffee but no grounds will that add scent? Essentially, do I need to buy a fragrance oil to get a coffee scent?

Since coffee is mainly water is there a specific ratio that's used to go with the goat milk?

Is there anything during the cooking process that I need to be aware of - no beer volcanoes, for example?

Thanks so much!

Unfortunately, the coffee scent doesn't come through the finished soap.
You can use coffee in place of your part of your water to dissolve the lye and then add the goat milk at trace. I've used it as 100% of my water and then added goat milk powder instead of liquid goat milk and it worked great. No weird problems.
