How To Make Goat Milk Soap

[ArtisticFarmer]

Hey!
I know it is illegal in a lot of places to sell raw goats milk- I figured if I can't sell the goat milk, I could make it into soap and sell it. (or use it!) No, I don't have goats right now, but we aren't a big goat-milk drinking family. (I just want goats 'cause they are goats. ) How do I make the soap, and/or cheese.
Thanks!

I make both and found directions online. You can use any soap recipe and replace the water with milk. The only real trick is to freeze the milk so it is cold when you add the lye to it, and add the lye slowly. Otherwise your milk will caramelize and make brown soap.

As far as cheese, go to fiasofarm.com, she has some good recipes that are easy to follow.

Once you get a taste of your yummy fresh goat milk, you just change and become a big goat-milk drinking family! It is wonderful! I prefer it to cow milk myself, and I know how much healthier it is for me.
