INCENSE RECIPE & DIY

This is a simple recipe to make your own incense cones using homegrown herbs and plants.

Ingredients:

• herbs, flowers, plants of your choice

• water

• a mixing bowl

• a spoon

• a tray or basket for air drying

• spice or coffee grinder

Process:

1. Grind herbs, flowers, plants (of your choice) to a fine powder in a spice grinder, and put them into mixing bowl.

2. Slowly add water and combine with the herbs until it is the consistency of a clay, be careful not to make it too watery or it won’t hold its shape.

3. Use your hands to mold the mixture into little incense cones. Alternatively, for incense sticks you can flatten the mixture and roll it around a stick.

4. Let the cones or sticks air dry for at least 4 days.

5. Put into an incense holder or fire proof dish and burn regularly.
