What are other non sugar/carbs liquid beside water? I guess pure tea or coffee... anything else?

Nice soap Sugars and carbs won't work with the Citric acid I have in the recipe since those type of liquids need to be frozen to not burn

Oh interesting ... i never use other liquids before I can replace the same amount of water with another liquid no problem?

Yeah probably why I thought it would be nice to reduce the fumes It not the lye... seem like the Citric acid is harder to dissolve in cooler water If I done lye only solution then yes I would have use cooler or even ice

Ah cool.. I live like 30 mins from toronto Made soap with room temp water last night Smooth and easy as I usually do in the past lol smh... I don't know why I decided to do it with cooler water. Probably remember in the past seeing people using cooler water to tame the lye but probably...
