Citrus-sage Bar

Lydia's first soap: Citrus-sage bar with lime zest, with slight alteration to oils.

Oils:
240g TJ's olive oil (60%)
100g Whole Food 365 virgin coconut oil (25%)
60g Crisco (15%)

Lye:
54g NaOH
152g water (tap)

Scent:
5.5g orange(sweet) essential oil

Texture:
5g dried sage
10g lime zest (one large lime's worth)

Notes:
- used blender at lowest setting increments of 15s until trace
- then added zest/sage and essential oil
- blended for an additional 30s and achieved a pudding-like thickness

Recipe:
