Nori Seaweed, Basil and Mint Soap

[mostho]

I infused 3 sheets of nori seaweed, 50gr of fresh basil and 25gr of fresh mint leafs in water for 10" from the boil.
I gave stick blender shots to mix everything very very smooth syrup.
I used 100% instead of water, with no filtering.

Nori, Basil and Mint Soap #02

* 35% Olive oil 350gr
* 35% Extra Virgin Olive Basil Oil Infusion 350gr

* 10% Rice oil 100gr

Just few more words:
In our family we make ourextra Virgin Olive oil, it's one of our treasures.
I let the fresh basil leaves for two weeks inside extra-virgin olive oil. I use this bottle to make some soap and also to dress salads... )

Thanks Judy, thanks all.
I do my soaps with my wife and a lotta passion and love because we made this soaps first of all for us and our family.
I think it's all about passion. And it reflects on my writing I believe!
