This is a large batch of Chamomile Neroli Soap. Neroli is s a plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. So it is a bit spicy and exotic.
I made this with double-brewed chamomile tea this time instead of water. I normally make it with single-brewed tea and this time the tea water was so dark that I thought it would effect the color of the soap but it looked about the same color. The soap is also made with a lot of chamomile extract at trace. Chamomile Extract is used as an anti-inflammatory and also as a mild sedative. On the skin, it helps to reduce redness and is soothing on inflamed skin.
Another difference this time is that I used whole Egyptian Chamomile in the oil to infuse it and I left the large blooms in the soap instead of straining it. I'll be interested in hearing how people like that.
