• 1/3 C. whole almonds
• 1 (4 oz.) bar Castile soap
• 1/4 C. distilled water
• 1 Tbs. almond oil

Grind the almonds to a fine powder in a food processor and set aside. Shred the soap. In a heavy saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat and add the almond powder, almond oil and vanilla fragrance oil, stirring until well blended. Spoon the soap into a mold. Let set for 5 hours or until hardened.
