One of the highlights of St Patrick’s Day is running to grab a minty Shamrock Shake from your local McDonalds! As a soapmaker, an idea popped up in my head: is there a way I can turn this festive drink into a bar of cold processed soap?
Soapmaking involves some pretty precise chemistry, and the Shamrock Shake might contain ingredients that prevent it from becoming soap. All I can do is go ahead and try it out!
I get most of my soap supplies from Voyageur Soap and Candle, which is a soap and candle supply shop based in Vancouver.
