Basic Soap Recipe

Notes:
Sometimes I add a scoop or two of powdered goat milk to the melted oils before mixing in the lye water to create a simple goat milk soap.
The high lard content makes this a very slow-moving recipe which can be great for swirls.
This is not a soap making tutorial. This is merely a recipe. It is the responsibility of anyone attempting this recipe to understand and apply safe soap making practices.
