Remove the leaves and flowers from the jewelweed. Chop the stem into small pieces and pack into a 1 cup measuring cup. You’ll need 1 cup of loosely packed jewelweed plant matter.
Wash the jewelweed in cool water to remove any dirt or surface debris. Drain off the excess water. Then add the jewelweed to your blender or food processor along with ¼ cup of water.
Process until the plant matter is completely macerated and you have a thick green jewelweed slurry.
Cut the melt and pour soap base into small pieces. Add the soap cubes and the jewelweed slurry to your saucepan.
Heat the soap and jewelweed slurry on low until the soap cubes have completely melted. Keep the melted soap on low heat and steep for 15 minutes to absorb the benefits of the jewelweed before straining.
Pour the melted soap base through a fine mesh strainer to remove the plant matter. Add approximately 15 drops peppermint oil and stir to blend.
Prepare the silicone soap mold by lightly spraying each cavity with the isopropyl alcohol. This will help prevent any bubbles in the bottom of your soaps. Pour the melted soap into the soap molds. Then lightly spray again with the alcohol to prevent surface bubbles as well.
Allow the soap to cool and harden completely, then pop out of the molds.
