Make the Shisha tobacco yourself
- The first thing you should do is cut the fruit you want to flavor the tobacco with into small pieces. Fruits such as apples, oranges or lemons are best suited for this.
- If you don't have a dehydrator to dry fruits, switch your oven to 50-60 degrees and place the pieces of fruit on a baking sheet. Then leave them in the oven until they are completely dry. The time it takes for the process to take varies with the size and thickness of the pieces.
- To get a quantity of about 200gr shisha tobacco, fill approx. 40gr tobacco in the container. Now fill it up with warm water. Mix the tobacco with the water and let it steep for about 1 minute. Then drain it with a sieve and rub it dry with Zewa. Now put about 100-110g pieces of fruit into the container and add molasses spoon by spoon until the mixture has a tough, massive consistency. To do this, approx. 60 grams of molasses are enough.
- Wait around 24 hours until the tobacco is completely absorbed and the aroma has been able to develop properly. Finally, you should seal the shisha tobacco in aluminum foil or a can airtight. This way it cannot dry out and it retains its consistency.
