Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 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. *Smile* Chris (list mom) Sale! Olive Oil, Celtic Sea Salt! http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 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 :-)) Christine Ziegler wrote: > The basic way I make loose incense: > Powder ingredients finely, the closer to powder it > is the better it will burn.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Chris makes great incense! I can vouch for that. I particularly like the autumn blend -- Jane Eliza <jane Tue, 13 Nov 2001 16:50:57 +1100 Re: Recipe: Incense: Cauldron's Fire Evening Incense I'm having a dejavu moment here, Chris !

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Hey Chris What do you use to powder your herbs? I use a coffee mill, or if I have a lot, the vita- mix.
