Orange Blossom Soap

12 ounces castille soap, grated
9 ounces water
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground orange or lemon peel
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3 drops cinnamon essential oil

Melt grated Castille soap in 9 ounces water in a saucepan over very low heat. Add the cinnamon, peels and ginger; stir well. Add the cinnamon oil, stir again and pour into small oiled molds and let the soap set. This can take from a few hours to a week, depending on the size of the mold.

When dry, unmold, wrap in tissue and put it in a dry cabinet to cure for about a month.
