Are these FOs or do you want to use actual dandelions and buttermilk?

 

[regansoap]

The dandelions are picked steeped in water and now I have a brownish water the buttermilk is left over from making butter and is currently frozen.

If you take dandelion greens and dry them out in a very low over until they are dry, then grind them very fine, you can use it as a green colorant.

Please ask those who are going to use the soap if they are allergic to dandelion, I am and break out in a terrible rash, even if the plant touches my clothing. Even though this is a very natural soap, it could cause someone a great deal of discomfort.

Yes the leaves. There is a soaping 101 video on YouTube about natural colorants.
