Pumpkin Coffee Soap

I am not a coffee drinker (I have tried to become one, but to no avail). However, I like making coffee soap. And this is the first time I am blending the Coffee Beans fragrance with Vanilla and Spice, to make it a sort of fall theme soap. I usually do not make fall themed soaps, so this gave me a good excuse to do one. (It is hard to get in any fall mood when the weather is still hot and humid where one lives)

I used actual coffee grounds for some exfoliation, and even tried my hand at piping again (it is not something I am very good at). Here is a video link and the recipe is below that.

Recipe Totals

Notes: I did save about 8 oz of the white colored soap batter to use as soap dough later, you could use it instead in the body of the soap or make the piping extra high for a taller bar.

I am also using a dual lye blend (95% sodium hydroxide and 5% potassium hydroxide). I have been reading how it helps create larger bubbles in soap, and I also have a bottle of potassium hydroxide I would like to use up). You will need to adjust the amount in a lye calculator if you are only using sodium hydroxide.
