Karen’s Patchouli Cream

201 gm lye
12.8 oz. rainwater

21 oz. olive oil
16 oz. coconut oil
14 oz. palm oil

At trace, add:

6.4 oz. cream
2 oz. castor oil
35 gm patchouli FO

This is strange, the first time I made this with buttermilk, it only took 15 minutes to trace. This time I stirred for 55 minutes and finally I took out a stick blender and it traced within 5 minutes.
