Windsor Soap

Notes:
This is a reproduction/translation of Windsor Soap recipe Taken from "The Art of Soap Making" by Merilyn Mohr. I've tried to scale down the recipe to fit a 1 lb mold. Type of tallow is unspecified so I used 50/50 beef/pork(lard). For colour I added honey to the hot lye, which caramelized the sugars in the honey.
Here is the original recipe from the book:
7 cups clean, rendered tallow, 2 cups vegetable oil
3.5 cups cold soft water
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp lye flakes
1 tsp oil of Cinnamon
1 tsp each of Clove and Caraway
1 tsp each oil of Sassafras and Bergamont
