Emu Baby Soap...Take Two!

My next attempt was planned carefully. The night before, I started my rice water by boiling 1 liter of water, adding 2 (level) Tblsps of jasmine rice and one cup of dried lavender blossoms. The lavender blossoms caught my fancy and I thought, why not. I boiled the mixture for 1 minute only. I then covered the pot and let it steep for 45 minutes. I strained it carefully and cooled it overnight in the fridge and all was well! The next evening after work I got the party started. The other problem I had encountered the first go around was the cornstarch. My solution to this was mixing the cornstarch with the emu oil....it worked perfectly! Everything else fell into place and the soap turned out fabulous!!! This time my happy soap dance was well deserved! My Emu Baby Soap is now curing and should be perfect for my grandson's first bath.
