king_lunchb0x Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ezxen method is pretty damn good and requires your basic ingredients. But i've yet to have someone on here post a legit mu;assal recipe with the proper cooking instructions and such.....industry secrets I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 There are definitely some industry secrets, however ezxen has a good idea of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezxen Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thing im still trying to figure out properly is cooking time for washing and a good flavor. I recently did a batch with flavor syrup(vanilla) and got next to no flavor. might be the syrup might be something else. Try scenting oils that might be what is in for flavoring gotten many of emails saying they got decent results with oil based flavoring . Not sure if it is probably the best thing to use but not sure on health risk . Also if boiling the tobacco don't forget to make sure its dry before combining it with flavor glycerine flavor and honey otherwise they wont bind right to the tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_lunchb0x Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) biggest troubles I had was water, and getting the tobacco to absorb the wet mix. I probably didn't use the right leave though. Edited October 31, 2012 by king_lunchb0x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Reading this thread last night it occurred to me to approach it from a cooking angle. If you've ever cooked greens southern style I'd think cooking tobacco would be somewhat similar except you're going for sweet rather than savory. I'd start with shredded raw tobacco and add water only enough to cover. Then as it came to a boil I'd turn it into syrup - either simple syrup through the addition of sugar if I wanted "unflavored" sweetness, or honey, corn syrup, etc. I'd let it simmer down slow until it's thick (most of the syrup has evaporated and cooked into the shredded leaves) then I'd stir in the glycerin and flavorings. I'd use hard candy flavorings because 1) they're intended to be edible, and 2) they're very heat tolerant going into candy at the hard ball stage. Let it sit overnight, and try smoking it. From a cook's point of view this seems most logical. Guess I'm going to have to give in and try it one of these days. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venger Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 having cooked collards and turnip greens I would have to agree with Rani. you need to rehydrate the tobacco then get the cell walls broken down enough to except the liquid.you also need some salt in the mix. osmosis only occurs when one side of the cell wall has more salt on it than the other. The salt will try to balance itself on both sides of the cell wall and bring in all the flavors and sugars with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, a pinch of salt actually makes things sweeter. Hell, Ray and I might be in our respective kitchens over the holidays making up Christmas shisha, lol......... instead of collard greens!
