Anyone put chamomile tea in their soap?

Another tea idea: I brew a strong batch of red rooibos tea, cool it of course, and use that for my lye water. I scent that soap with vanilla and cinnamon. It's one of my best sellers. You can definitely smell the rooibos in the finished bar. Just keep from eating it!

Sins the water to oil is very low, it needs to be very concentrated tea extraction?

Is there an option to add more liquids to the soap without adding more water?
We can use 24% lay ratio with long curring time

I use 2 tablespoons of loose rooibos tea in 1 lb. 6oz. of water and simmer 20 minutes or more. I make it the day ahead and strain it very well so there's no particulate. Alternatively use 4 tea bags. Actually I use more water because you lose water in simmering. My recipe calls for 1 lb. 6oz. water. 34.5 lye solution. No white ash on top. 24% lye solution? Not sure how you could do that, we must calculate differently.
