Hey Penelopejane, Yes, I am sure I used 8 oz of coconut milk. It was organic coconut milk. It did have guar gum in it tho..do you think that could have made a difference?0

Ok so the recipe was this: 4.35 water 4.35 sodiun hydroxide 27 oz of Olive oil 5 oz of coconut oil 8 oz of coconut milk 2.5 oz of carrots baby food I am pretty sure now that it was the 50/50 lye water solution. I made the another batch with just olive oil and coconut with regular water...
