Straining and bottling the elderflower champagne


The stewed flowers after nearly 2 weeks.











Boil sterilising the straining bag.











Bottling in containers that hopefully wont explode!











You can add a camden tablet before bottling but I chose not to as I don't think it will last long enough to matter!
The bottles now need to be stored somewhere cool and where nothing else can be spoiled if they do explode.

Making Soap






Tonight I've been making soap. Two batches, one rose bud soap and the other green tea, lemongrass and tea tree. Its SO easy and quick to make.
The first picture shows the last two batches I made that were just pure soap, no additives of any kind, just pure oils. This time I'm making fragranced naturally coloured and textured soaps. My kitchen is very trashed!! will tackle that in the morning....
