Preparation
- Cut the goat milk base into small cubes so it melts evenly.
- Melt the soap gently in short microwave bursts or in a double boiler, stirring in between until completely melted but not boiling.
- Let the melted soap cool for a minute or two to prevent coffee grounds from sinking.
- Stir in the honey until well combined.
- Add the vanilla scent, starting small; you can adjust the amount later but can't remove it once added.
- Fold in the dried coffee grounds until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into your soap mold and spritz the top with rubbing alcohol to remove bubbles.
- Allow the soap to set for a few hours, ideally overnight, before unmolding.
