<h4><font color="black">To use in cold process recipes, add 3 tablespoons of seeds to 3/4th cup warm oil and steep for 1 hour. Strain and use the colored oil as part of your oil phase. The color achieved for a 10 lb. batch of soap will be deep orange. To achieve a yellow-orange tone, cut the amounts mentioned above in half. You can also add the annatto directly to the lye/water phase but you will need to grind them finely in a blender before adding the seeds to the lye/water. Stir the powdered seeds into HOT lye/water, and proceed with your recipe as normal.</font>
