HoamRowe Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hello all,Thank you for providing this service. We live in america and are looking to get into the hookah business next year to support our publishing business. A thing that we would like to do at our store would be to make small batches of shisha so that our customers can see how it is made. It would be like a brewery tour, plus would give a chance to get exposure to an aspect of arab culture. America makes good tobacco and fruit, but we would need recipes for the shisha. Does anyone have a recipe, or know where to go to find one. Thanks, and if this idea will not work please let me know.Hoam rowewww.shadyhousepub.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking to start making weird flavors that Only I would like.You basically need Tobacco... There are many different cuts of tobacco some having benefits. The larger cuts make it so heat and air can pass through easier giving a more even burn. Smaller cuts like HookahHookah and Hookah Freak Have awesome flavor and seem to smoke pretty well... usually cheaper.After you buy your tobacco, probably unwashed tobacco, you gotta wash it. I never really made it before but I think washing basically means you soak it on low heat with water... strain and do it again a few more time... Usually 7 times total or until no more color comes out. Next you will need Vegetable glycerine and molasses. It doesn't take much of either of these to make the famous gooey combination. You have to experiment with the quantities of both to see what you prefer. Usually just a spoonful of each should do. What you are aiming for is a nice, thick... not to runny concoction.For flavor I would assume you can just look for some flavor extracts... there are websites all over that sell gallons of the stuff. Mix and match the flavors and remember to keep it nice and kinda thick.Now I don't know for sure how to make it the best way but that is how you get the general item.
