Even keeping the lye solution cool, you'll still get a bit of orange color. Part of this comes from the goat's milk itself...and part of this comes from the lye heating things up. What we're trying to do with the ice bath is keep it cool and minimize the color shift.

Once the lye is mixed with the milk, make your soap like you normally would, using the milk-lye solution in place of your water-lye solution.
