    Hey, good article, I read it awhile back..A thing i do is melt down 1 Jolly rancher (apple) and I add it to your recipe, it enhances the flavor. I also like to dissolve one in the water at the base.
    Great recipe!

    As requested:
    “How much ‘preservative do you you use in the mixture’?
    You of course mean “glycerine” bought in small bottles at the pharmacy.
    Buy a bottle, at home you add up to 25% glycerine at the most.The Middle Eastern countries which manufacturer the shisha you buy add up to 25%. Less if you are smoking immediately. The glycerine is the medium which binds the fruit honey (mu’assel” and your fruit, tobacco together. First as you are using dry tobacco, it must be wet.
    Without glycerine, the tobacco will scorch, the fruit bake, and the honey boil and crust hard,it wil stink and taste bad. So glycerine does preserve your mixture, but its more the agent adding moisture which lets the mixture dissapate evenly, ot burn.
    Shisha should never burn, but actually the smoke meets the water and vapours emerge from the hose to your throat.
    Nice smoking

    You can use all kinds of fruit. Pineapple is widely considered to be one of the most rewarding flavros, though i’ve made very successful strawberry and fairly good peach shisha myself. a couple of tips; puree some of your fruit of choice, strain out the juice, and use that juice to marinate the tobacco before hand. I do this by taking my tobacco and mixing the juice in, then putting the mixture into a cup and setting the cup upright in a baggy partially filled with water and sealing it all off. I keep this baggy in a warm place, so the steam from the water evaporating wets the tabacco just the right amount while encouraging the tobacco to absorb the flavors. As for the leftover fruit puree, it makes a great ice cream topper. Badass, right?

    after this, you follow the directions above, using a new batch of fruit. For more subtle flavors like strawberry and peach, you might want to play with the proportions of fruit/tobacco a bit, increasing the amount of fruit to like 30 or 40%.

    so i used herb in my recipe and it worked out quite well. the best thing ive found to do is use a juicer, then use some of the juice and pulp along with some tiny pieces.

    my favorite mixture was pineapple and a hint cherry.. fresh cherries work best but preserved or ‘cocktail’ cherries work too ( preserved sherries have a fake taste i do not find enjoyable)

    if anyone has more ideas e-mail me at speedbump2006@yahoo.com use the subject SHISHA otherwise i probably wont read it.

    with love from america,
