Wine soap......Yes I said wine soap! Oh and some soup as well

I read about making wine soap in the soap making book I bought last week.  I really wanted to try it so I thought I would do it today.  In ADHD fashion I made soap, made a batch of soup and wrote 3 papers today!

The soap was my normal recipe but I changed the coco butter for bees wax.  I then took a bottle of wine and boiled it down to try and eliminate the alcohol.  I then used the wine reduction and some extra water to make the Lye solution.

Ingredients

After a full day of soap making and cooking and cleaning it was time to write some papers and do some research.  Drinking my Saint Paul Porter!
