Yesterday I made a batch of white wine soap and today I made a batch of red wine soap. I was having difficulty staying on task today and missed adding the essential oils that give it a fragrance. So, my red wine soap is unscented. Sigh.
Meanwhile, I opened a new bottle of Cassel's Concord Wine and used a new method for taking out the alcohol. I've been letting the beer and wine just sit in the fridge for about 2 weeks to go "flat". Today, I simmered the wine at 140 degrees for 45 minutes to take out the alcohol. I'll make it into wine in the morning. We'll see how it goes. This time, I'll be sure to add the fragrance!
About Me
- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
