basics for making herbal loose incense

[Guest guest]

choose ingredients that you know smell okay when burning in other

words use a recipe or do some experimenting before you make a big

batch of something.

powder all ingredients as fine as possible, the closer to powder it

is the better it will burn.

mix all dry ingredients together first.

add oil in small amounts and not in just one area, or you'll get

paste. also if you have a little pile of leaves or twigs over a pile

of powder - put the oil on the leaves or twigs instead of the powder.

it'll be easier to blend.

blend well and jar.

to make like 1/2 lb of it *lol*)

Chris,

 

That sounds wonderful! Is this the stuff I'm getting from you? If

not, can I get some of this too?
