Recipe: Incense: Cauldron's Fire Evening Incense

The basic way I make loose incense:

Powder ingredients finely, 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 can gather a little pile of slightly more leafy or twiggy

matter from the powdered ingredients - putting the oil on that, instead

of the

very powdery ingredients, will help prevent clumping and make it easier

to blend.

Blend all ingredients well, store in a glass jar.

 

Now for an incense recipe: (one of the few recipes with exact ingredient

amounts ;) )

 

Cauldron's Fire Evening Incense

 

Herbs

1 handful Pine Needles

3 generous pinches Deer's Tongue Leaves

4 heaping Tbsp. Red Sandalwood Powder

Oils by drops

3 Patchouli

2 Geranium

2 Cinnamon leaf

1 Ylang Ylang

2 Black Pepper

3 Sandalwood

10 Spearmint

9 Peppermint

 

Burn on a hot coal or in a smoldering fire place. Great for outdoors

too.

I'm having a dejavu moment here, Chris !

I think it was coming up to last Christmas that you posted a winter eve's

incense recipe for around the fire - to Bridget's Cottage, I think !

I replied that it sounded lovely, even for our summer & you responded with

another lovely recipe for a summer night's incense :-))

It's cold here today - is often does that to us just before summer - this sounds

very nice & if we didn't have fire restrictions, I'd make some up just to throw

on the fire !!

 

Just reminiscing,

Jane :-))

Hey Chris

 

What do you use to powder your herbs?

I use a coffee mill, or if I have a lot, the vita- mix.
