Tea 'N Eggs

[Obsidian]

Made this with a tea made from roasted grains. Added in some of the tea grinds and egg yolk.

First time using my egg mold, hope it turns out good.

and my new cavity mold from BB

Looks great! What made this color? The tea?

 

[Obsidian]

Yep, the color is from the tea.

Can't wait to see the egg shaped ones out of the mold!

Like Chinese Tea Eggs...what a cool idea!!

 

[Obsidian]

I can't wait to unmold the eggs either but its going to be a few days before they are hard enough. I'm tempted to try and gel them some how so they harden quicker.
I unmolded the bars this morning, the color lightened quite a lot.

I've never seen an egg mold, how cool! I have the round mold shown and I like it a lot.
Did you brew the tea extra strong?

 

[Obsidian]

The egg mold is actually for jello jigglers and I'm hoping the soap comes out ok. I did grease the inside with mineral oil. I brewed the tea regular strength but its a very dark, strong tea. Its actually more like coffee, its all roasted grains, no leaves or flowers at all.

Here they are! They popped right out of the mold and only needed a little cleaning up. I'll have to do some pastel swirls for Easter

 

[savonierre]

They look amazing..

 

[osso]

They came out really great! I love the speckles.

 

[TVivian]

Wow!!! They look like real eggs! Amazing. They'd be awesome for Easter as well.

 

[TVivian]

Haha! I should have read your post first before getting excited about the pictures

 

[Obsidian]

Thanks, I think they are just adorable. I hope they feel nice in the hand when being used and aren't too hard to hold onto.

Oh, wow. Those are gorgeous soaps! I've heard of egg white soaps, but not egg yolk. Very intriguing.

 

[newbie]

Very cool mold. I love how those came out. You'll have a blast trying new things in that and I love the size too. It looks perfect!

 

[neeners]

gorgeous! they look so fun, and perfect for easter!

 

[kazmi]

Those look just like robin eggs! How cute for easter. I can see all of the pretty pastel easter colors you can make these with!

 

[Obsidian]

Oh, robin eggs would look amazing, wonder what kind of scent would go well, maybe something like rain or ozone.
