Easy recipe for cafe mocha soap
I love the smell of both coffee and chocolate so how could this mixture possibly go wrong? I used the calculator over at Soapcalc in order to figure out exactly what percentages or weights I needed to use. This is an easy hot process soap. I do suggest you only use your essential oils or perfumes at the end. Otherwise the heat of the hot process will burn off your scent.

Brew coffee triple strength several hours prior to creating batch of soap. This will be used for the lye. I like to add cloves into the brewed coffee as it adds a bit of a complex smell later.
