Honey Soap
Ingredients
Directions
Cut the soap into thin shavings.
Place the shavings in a pot over low heat with just enough water to prevent burning.
Once melted, stir in the honey and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and add the perfume.
Pour the mixture into a deep dish to cool.
Once cooled, cut into squares.
