Instructions for Use

Place all three ingredients in a small iron pot and cover with a medium-sized bowl. Seal the gaps between the bowl and the pot by rolling paper mixed with flour paste into a rope and pressing it firmly into the joints. Fill the bottom of the empty bowl with river sand. Heat over charcoal until the incense stick burns for one stick’s duration. Place a piece of fresh cotton at the bottom of the bowl; when the cotton turns yellow, the preparation is perfect. If it turns charred, it is overcooked.
