- Making iced tea and tea soap is one of my favorite things. These cold processed bar soaps are vegan, palm-free, and fragranced with essential oils! Learn how to do multiple batches of soap in the same sitting and check out my recipes below.

The recipe I used: Enter into soapcalc.net for your size mold.
1.7:1 iced tea:lye ratio, 4% superfat
28% olive oil
33% coconut oil
10% shea butter
15% cocoa butter
8% grapeseed oil
6% castor oil
Optional: 1 tsp / lb of oils sodium lactate & cane sugar (or add the sugar in with the hot tea) to harden bar & add bubbly lather
Optional: 1 T kaolin clay / lb of oils (I added it to the Chai but not the Lemongrass Green Tea)
Chai Tea Soap:
Chai tea for lye solution.
Mix in Chai tea powder and cocoa powder to darken. I used a peppercorn medley & pumpkin pie spice (just a light dusting) on top for botanicals.
Essential oil blend: small amounts of cardamom, clove, cinnamon bark, nutmeg, ginger, and anise (eocalc.com says not even to use some of these so check safe amounts on there and do very small amounts for what works for you as personal use) - smells very much like a spice shop!
Lemongrass Green Tea:
Lemongrass Green Tea for lye solution.
Mix in green tea powder to darken swirl. Top with the lemongrass sticks that are leftover from steeping the tea.
Essential oil blend: You can use a green tea fragrance (Nature's Oil and New Directions Aromatics both have one that I like) or stick with Lemongrass and Palmarosa Essential oils. 2/3 palmarosa or fragrance, 1/3 lemongrass. Enter into eocalc.com for your size batch to find a safe amount.
Note: I make these videos for your entertainment (and my own!). Please make sure you understand proper/safe handling of lye before attempting to make soap. I am not responsible for the results of your soap making.

What are your favorite teas? Do you use labels like this when you soap?
So pretty, so natural. Can’t decide which one is prettier.
I can't decide either 😆
Your soap studio is so pretty! It's like a cozy cabin! Even the soap has a vintage look. That's really impressive!
Thank you! 🥰 Our house isn't very big so it's basically a cabin in the woods! I love bears, moose, and pine trees ❤️ This is basically our entire basement. Gets crowded quickly!
@@wildbackyardsoaps Where you live is completely different from where I live! The house you describe is like a fairy tale place! Looking forward to the soaps being made in a great place!😍
@@Traditional_Soaping Thank you! I feel very blessed to be in our little home in the woods.
when two of my all time favourite soapers connect in the comments😍🥰🥰🥰
Best video format everrrr! Love your work and your energy.
I'm glad you like it! I've learned a lot since starting this channel. I feel like I still have a ways to go with editing and filming but I hope they're helpful and enjoyable :)
The chai soap was my fave 8:48
Cool! I can't decide which I like better yet haha
just when i search something really specific like chai tea soap & multiple batch making of course my girl of soap wisdom and good ideas has the perfect video!😂🥰LOVE your content and your experimental nature spirit! x
Haha awesome :) glad to help!
I absolutely love your energy!!!!
Aw, thanks :)
Beautiful thank you
Happy Monday evening 🤗 WOW, those are beautiful soaps. Absolutely gorgeous 😍🥰.
Thanks! Glad you're here :)
Wow!! These are beautiful! I especially love the swirl on the lemongrass soap! Stunning ! I learned a few tips from your processes too! OMG.
-mason jars for the win
-double boiler technique for melting down hard oils
-measuring lye into an old empty lye container to save on clean up is genius and probably safer (It will definitely prevent me from
worrying about scraping every last bit of lye out of a measuring cup and then having to clean an extra container and spoon.)
I dunno if I have the patience to do two batches at once but it’s definitely a time saver!! One day!
I just made two successful batches of coffee soap. Can’t wait to try your techniques out with Earl Grey and green tea!
Thanks for sharing your processes! ❤
Sounds amazing! I love Earl Grey tea!
I have switched to a stainless steel pot since this filming for the lye solution just because there's no risk of cracking that way ;)
You have earned a loyal subscriber, thank you and love the matter you share your personal soapmaking journey, thank you, best regards

So glad you found it helpful :)
❤❤❤❤❤ ❤ molto bello
The chai soap is my favorite but is it an exfoliating one since you put chai tea powder inside ? Very nice soaps indeed and very informative.Isabelle
Yes, even the smallest granules like pumpkin pie spice can be felt in the final bar so adding in tea granules will make it slightly exfoliating. If you don't want that feel, either add less or opt for cocoa powder instead
Thanks very much for your advice
so is it the chai tea itself that made it so dark or was that because of the essential oil blend
I would say probably a mix of both.
im wondering if you do not sell the chai tea soap?
I haven't made one in a while. I rotate my inventory seasonally. Right now I have a fallen leaves soap that is a similar combo of tea and essential oils, but totally different design :)
I'm sorry I'm confused but why did you add sugar?
Hehe, not for tasting! Any form of sugar in soap helps boost lather. That is the main reason for adding sugar, honey, milks, etc. Just be careful not to add too much and soap at a lower temp because it will cause the batter to heat up more.
@@wildbackyardsoaps you are awesome. Thank you so much for replying. I will make this using your recipe and let you know how it went :)
@@miriamshah4151 sounds great! Hope it works well for you! I'm assuming you already know soapmaking basics because this is not a beginner recipe ;) Just want to make sure you know safety for sure. Have fun!
Being chai is just tea I'm confused which chai is one of your favorites
@MrCervasio1 I'm specifically referring to Chai tea that has the typical spices found in Chai such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Green tea is totally different
