Turmeric, Papaya and Coffee - Soaps or Foods

Does this melt your mouth?? Stop!!! Do not eat it simply because of its tempting aroma. I will teach you how to use food ingredients to make these soaps. Be careful with molten soap as it is very hot and could be harmful to children in the kitchen. Join me now.

1. Turmeric - A fresh stick

2. Papaya - Few ripe pieces

3. Coffee - 1 tbps

4. A stainless utensil

5. A small bowl

6. Soap base

7. Mould

As a first step, I washed the turmeric stick and then grated it (image 2-3). Then, by hand I squeezed the turmeric juice (image 1). Then for a double boiler, I simply filled the bottom pot with one or two inches of water. Next, I added the soap base to the small bowl and turned on the burner to a simmer (images 5-8). As the water heats up and steam is released, the steam stays trapped between the two pots, which then heats the soap in the small bowl. Then slowly I added turmeric juice into this melted soap (image 9-10). Stirred occasionally. Then, poured this liquid yellow turmeric soap into the mould in different proportions in each mould unit. Let it dry for 20+ minutes.

As a next step, I washed the papaya and cut a few small pieces (images 3-4). Mashed with a spoon the ripe papaya pieces (image 4). Later for a double boiler, I simply filled the bottom pot with one or two inches of water. Next, I added the soap base to the small bowl and turned on the burner to a simmer (images 6-7). As the water heats up and steam is released, the steam stays trapped between the two pots, which then heats the soap in the small bowl. Then slowly I added the fresh papaya pulp into this melted soap (image 7). Stirred occasionally. Then, I poured this liquid papaya soap into the mould in different proportions in each mould unit. Let it dry for 20+ minutes.

As a next step, I put 1 tbsp coffee into a small glass bowl (image 2). Later for a double boiler, I simply filled the bottom pot with one or two inches of water. Next, I added the soap base to the small bowl and turned on the burner to a simmer (images 6-7). As the water heats up and steam is released, the steam stays trapped between the two pots, which then heats the soap in the small bowl. Then slowly I added coffee into this melted soap. Stirred occasionally. Then, I poured this liquid papaya soap into the mould in different proportions in each mould unit. Let it dry for 20+ minutes.

Carefully I peeled off the soaps from the moulds and they looks like the beautiful 'Aromatic Christmas Ornaments'. Do you smell them??
