How to make grean soap with Calendula-Chamomile
What will we need:
2 plastic or wooden bowls
Various jugs or cups to measure the ingredients
Kitchen gloves (unlike us who get bored and burn ourselves)
Wooden spoon or stick blender
Wooden mold, plastic or silicone molds. The first 2 should be laid with grease-proof paper for you to disconnect the soap
Vinegar (if any soda or soap drops in your hands in vinegar will save you from any burn)
