Herbs and spices

Can I use any of my herbs or spices in the soap such as Saffron?
Answer:
You certainly can use herbs and spices. Saffron will produce yellows in soap and can be added to the oils as an infusion.
Saffron is quite expensive so for a less expensive natural yellow you may want to use something like annatto seeds or calendula petals.
