hey dont worry about your english it is fine.

and I have a recipie I have been working on simular to this to increase your apple flavor try adding apple cider to your suger then boil it into a suryp it will help alot. or insted of suger try light mollasses mixed with natural honey. and let it soak overnight with the tobaco in it. (mix the cider into it before hand and boil back down like with the suger.) EDIT: mix the suryp as so 30% mollasses 40% honey 30% cider boil till its a semi thick suryp add tobacco and apple pices and your other ingrediants. (I recomend dehydrating the apple on a baking sheet in your oven on your lowest heat setting with the oven door cracked open to vent excess heat. and let the mix cool overnight. if the mix becomes to thick add one tea spoon of cider to thin it out but unless you overboil the suryp this should not be necassary.)

-and if anyone has a problem with my english I am dyslexic and hate spell check so deal with it lol. Edited December 2, 2007 by Charley

Is your Bulgarian as good as his english?

Comments like this are unhelpfull and unwanted. The guy is sharing his experience in attempting to make his own shisha.

Good luck kocetoo! Nice work so far - Maybe rather than using natural apple and sugar something artificial for the flavour might work?

Hopefully some of the other gents that have tried there receipes will chip in

even though ive never made shisha, the thing that it lacks is extract. use some vanilla extract or soemthing like that. also you could sautee the apples for a long period of time and then take the syrup and apple remains and add that. that way all the sugars will be pre released for the shisha. i would also let it sit longer so that the flavors sit much longer and really caramelize.

i mixed molasses + apple + sugar + pipe tobacco once.. still haven't got round to trying it though XD lemme go try now.

[Seanij]

well, im back with results.
My shisha is very good tasting, strong taste of apple.
Not too thick, not too thin, smoke.
But its rather like Tangiers in a way, very juicy, needs to be acclimated beforehand i'd say cause it burnt up way too quick.

Nice... thats pretty cool. Keep us updated on the best recipe that you figure out. I'd love to try and make this... I'll bet you could do pear or something just as easily.


What would be delicious is pomegranate.. Maybe just cut one open and cook down the seeds with the juice to get a syrup?

[Plain Old Me]

Try maybe mixing maple syrup in there. I bet that would be an excellent flavor

I grow and cure my own pipe tobacco and came here to learn about making shisha. I just posted this info about my flavorings: http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry200075

If you're going to use vanilla extract use the real stuff; most of it's synthetic.

I did something similar to this before, different process though. Been trying to prefect it. Just a matter of time now.

and btw, drop a charcoal off your bowl man. You are asking for that bowl to burn with this many coals on it.. Edited February 2, 2008 by Codename067

i sorta made lemon shisha... had some dried out, tasteless shisha so i added some honey, lemon juice nd grated lemon peel. it tasted really nice afterwards. why are you using white sugar? try using molasses or even brown sugar, the purer the sweeter.
