2. Slowly mix with a whisk until all the lye flakes have dissolved in the distilled water. Solution may become hot, do be cautious. 
   
   
   
3. To bring lye solution to room temperature, place container in a water bath. 
   
   
   
4. Measure out Pacific’s Rice Milk carefully to avoid any spillage and then set aside. 
   
   
   
5. Separately, pour your Oil Mix into a heat resistant mixing container. Combine room temperature Lye Water  with the oil mix.
   
   
   
6. Next, use a whisk and mix until it reaches thin trace. Timing of this may vary as the faster you mix, the faster solution will saponify and reaches thin trace.
