Snuff is a good way to improve mood and performance, improve breathing and even get rid of a cold. The range of scents of snuff today is huge - from raspberries and orange blossoms to menthol, mint, bergamot, peach and lavender. This variety of flavors allows fans of snuff to breathe in a new unique flavor every time. However, you often want to try something exclusive, which means you should make your own snuff.
It is necessary
- - dried tobacco leaves;
- - blender (or any other grinder);
- - essential oils;
- - water;
- - plastic containers;
- - rubber spatula.
Instructions
Step 1
The process of making snuff begins with the selection of tobacco leaves. The number of components in tobacco blends can be up to twenty, but it is quite possible to get by with one variety. Choose well-dried and preferably undamaged leaves.
Step 2
Place tobacco leaves of one variety in a blender or in a special unit and grind to a powdery consistency. Pour the resulting tobacco dust into separate containers for different varieties.
Step 3
Sift the tobacco blend and mix the different varieties in the same container in the desired proportion.
Step 4
Add water with any flavors or essential oils to the mixed tobacco mixture. Essential oils can be taken either individually or as a mixture. Use no more than six drops of essential oil per half glass of water. The water should be added little by little, gently stirring the tobacco with a small rubber spatula. At this stage, the snuff should look like a moist but dense porridge.
Step 5
Then transfer the snuff in a container to a ventilated and air-conditioned area and leave to dry under a loose lid for four weeks. Open the lid completely from time to time to allow the tobacco mixture to "breathe".
Step 6
After the tobacco blend has aged for four weeks, additional natural flavors such as fruit extracts can be added to the finished product. Good snuff should be dark green or brown in color and feel like a soft, velvety powder.
