Prepare the Tobacco

  1. Step 1 Frammenta il tabacco.
    The first thing you need to do when you want to get apple shisha is prepare the tobacco by breaking it into strips.[1]
    • Tobacco is used both for smoking and as an aggregator of the mixture.
    • American Spirit brand loose tobacco is perfect for this purpose, but you can of course use any product you like, as long as it's loose leaf and has a flavor you like.You can also opt for cheaper tobaccos, such as Drum.You can also use pipe ones to get a more intense smoky flavor, but be aware that they are also harsher.
    • Before preparing it, make sure that the tobacco is dry.If it is damp, expose it to fresh air and wait a few hours or overnight for it to dry.
    • Once dry, break it into large pieces in a Tupperware-type container.You must eliminate any veins present on large leaves;then, chop the whole leaves with a knife.
  2. Step 2 Mettile in ammollo.
    When the leaves have been broken and chopped into small pieces, you need to soak them.
    • This way, they become malleable and at the same time you eliminate some of the nicotine and harsher flavors.
    • The longer the soaking time, the less strong the flavor of the tobacco will be;by doing so, you will be able to better appreciate that of the apple.
    • Pour cold water into the container.Use enough to compress the tobacco below the water level.Create a paste so that the tobacco soaks in well and let it rest for 30 minutes.If you wait more than half an hour, remember to change the water, which turns brown due to released substances, such as nicotine. [2]
    • Alternatively, boil the tobacco and then rinse it several times in cold water.[3]
  3. Step 3 Aggiungi il miele o la melassa.
    After soaking the tobacco for the desired amount of time, strain it to remove the liquid.Wait for it to dry a little and then add honey or molasses.
    • Before proceeding, however, wait until the tobacco has dried slightly.Shape it into a ball and wring out excess moisture, just as you would with a soaked rag.
    • Honey and molasses are quite similar substances, but they allow you to achieve slightly different results.Honey, in fact, does not give as intense a flavor as that of molasses.
    • Regardless of your preferences, you should use products that are not too expensive.If you have opted for molasses, make sure it does not contain sulfur derivatives.If you chose honey, get a cheap brand, as most of the flavor will be lost during processing.
    • It is easier to use raw ingredients that can be added by spoonfuls into the tobacco.The ratio between honey (or molasses) and tobacco must be 1:3;for three grams of tobacco use one gram of honey.However, the final quantity depends on your taste.
  4. Step 4 Puoi incorporare un po' d'acqua per mescolare meglio i vari ingredienti.
    It is advisable to slightly dilute the honey or molasses, so as to be able to work the mixture better with your hands.
    • If you want, you can also buy oils to add more flavor to the shisha.[4] There are oils with an intense fruity flavour, but make sure they are always of high quality.Even though they are called aroma oils, know that they are not actually true oily substances, otherwise the various ingredients would separate.
    • Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and sticky.Continue adding honey or molasses until it has the consistency of commercial shisha.

Prepare the Apples

  1. Step 1 Taglia i frutti in quattro parti e rimuovi il torsolo da ogni spicchio.
    Before blending and adding the apples to the tobacco, you must remove the seeds and core. [5]
    • You can prepare the apples while letting the tobacco soak.
    • Cut them into quarters and be sure to completely remove the hard core, seeds and stem.
  2. Step 2 Metti i pezzi di mela in un robot da cucina oppure tagliali finemente.
    Be careful not to create uniformly sized pieces.
    • A food processor allows you to get the right consistency, somewhere between puree and chopped fruit.
  3. Step 3 Scalda brevemente le mele in un pentolino per eliminare l'umidità in eccesso.
    Let them simmer over medium-low heat.
    • The cooking process allows you to eliminate part of the liquids.In fact, it is preferable to have apples with little water, otherwise the shisha will burn with difficulty.
    • However, cooking times are subjective.You don't want to burn the fruit, so watch it carefully.
  4. Step 4 Aspetta che il composto si sia raffreddato e aggiungi la glicerina.
    Glycerol is an organic compound that is commercially available in the form of a derivative and under the name of glycerin.Its job is to absorb water from other ingredients. [6]
    • The glycerin allows the apple mixture to incorporate and join with the tobacco mixture;Furthermore, it reduces the chances of the shisha burning quickly and unevenly.
    • Glycerin also increases smoke production, as it creates white clouds when it reaches the gaseous state.
    • While it may form smoke, add some sugary flavor, and act as a preservative, remember that it is not essential to the blend.However, many manufacturers use it to ensure the shisha lasts longer and has a better consistency.
    • We recommend using vegetable glycerin or that specific for shisha.

  1. Step 1 Unisci le mele al composto di tabacco.
    When the puree has cooled, stir it into the tobacco and honey (or molasses).
    • You will need to use a fork or your hands to work the ingredients into a smooth mixture.
    • If you feel like the shisha is dry, add a little more honey, molasses or glycerin.You want to get a sticky, moist consistency.
    • Once all the ingredients are mixed, shape them into a ball.Take a piece of foil large enough to cover and wrap the ball.Place the shisha in the center of the sheet and shape it into a solid, compact dough.Then, wrap it with aluminum foil;by doing so, the juices will remain inside during cooking.
  2. Step 2 Cuoci la miscela al forno.
    Place the foil-wrapped package in a baking dish or baking dish to catch any juices if they leak out of the package.Finally, bake the mixture.
    • You must set the appliance to the lowest possible temperature.Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 80-82°C.If your model can't be set below 90°C, there's no problem;just remember to monitor the process carefully.
    • If your oven can't get down to 80°C, open the door occasionally to reduce the internal heat.
    • Cook the shisha for about 45 minutes and up to a maximum of one hour.This way, the juices spread and mix throughout the dough.
  3. Step 3 Aggiungi altri aromi.
    When the mixture is cooked, the honey and molasses liquefy.However, you can add more if you feel like the tobacco is a little dry.
    • Before adding additional flavorings, check that the mixture is cold while still wrapped in foil.
    • You can experiment with other flavors, like vanilla, if you like.
    • Depending on the consistency and flavor you prefer, you can add other ingredients.If you feel like the cooking process has worn off the flavor of the apples, you can add tobacco flavoring later.
    • Additionally, some people prefer to incorporate the glycerin and flavorings only after baking.
  4. Step 4 Conserva la miscela per tutta la notte.
    Once cooked, cooled and enriched with other flavors and ingredients, the shisha can be put away.
    • Place it in an airtight container and in the refrigerator.Leave it to rest overnight or even longer, to allow all the ingredients to combine evenly.When the mixture is really ready and all the flavors have mixed, you will be able to enjoy the minutes you spend smoking to the fullest.
  5. Step 5 Controlla la miscela e gustala.
    After letting it rest and mature for at least one night, remove it from the container and check its consistency.If you are satisfied with the result, you can put it on the brazier and enjoy it.
    • After letting it rest, check that the mixture is not too dry.If you have added enough honey, molasses and glycerin, it should keep well, but if it seems dry, pour in another small amount of these ingredients, mix carefully and smoke the shisha.
