What will be needed to make a bowl of grapefruit?
If you are making such a bowl for the first time, we recommend that you carefully read how to properly make a hookah on grapefruit. To begin with, we will understand what we need in this simple matter. We need a whole fresh grapefruit, kitchen foil, a large kitchen knife (it is desirable that it is well ground), a special fruit knife (you can do with an ordinary small one, but the process will be much more complicated and longer), a stationery knife, a cutting kitchen board, toothpicks , a pair of paper napkins and tobacco. The latter can choose which one you like. Great with a bowl on grapefruit fruit mixes are obtained (peach, watermelon, melon, green apple and even coconut). You can add some mint tobacco, this will add a pleasant freshness to the smell of smoke, and the tobacco will stretch easily. We proceed directly to work.
How to make a grapefruit hookah bowl
Take a whole grapefruit and cut it with a large kitchen knife. You need to cut not half, but a little less, about a third, the "ass". This is done in one motion, it’s good if the knife is sharp enough and you don’t have to “tear” it or “pick” it for a long time to make it fit. The cut should be as even as possible, in the future this may affect the quality of smoking. Now we need to turn over our grapefruit and put it with a slice down on the platter. We take a fruit knife and cut a through hole in the middle with a diameter of no more than a few centimeters, depending on the size of the fruit. Take out the core. Turn it over again. Now you need to cut out the bowl itself.
How to cut the flesh correctly
Take a large knife in our hands and carefully take out about half the pulp. The new hole should have the shape of an inverted cone, the entire middle is not necessary to remove. It is better not to touch the zest itself, it should remain intact. Next we need regular toothpicks. They are needed so that the tobacco that we put in the manufactured bowl does not fall inside. They need to be stuck in the middle of the fruit parallel to the pulp so that they form a grid. Use two to three toothpicks first, and then create a grid from two more. We figured out how to make a grapefruit hookah cup. Now let's move on to the main part. Very soon we will have a grapefruit hookah ready. How to make such a device correctly and beautifully? Read on!
How to apply a bowl of grapefruit
Now that our bowl is ready, we need to do a few more manipulations with the foil for its further use. We take tobacco (or several types of tobacco) and a paper towel. Put a little of the first on the last. In the packaging, tobacco is stored compressed, and we need to ruffle it a little. If there are whole large parts (twigs or sticks), they need to be pulled out and discarded. Usually, if the quality is good, such particles are quite rare. Some people do not understand one simple thing about a hookah on grapefruit: how to make tobacco burn longer? The answer is simple: you need to get a little wet tobacco with a napkin, it absorbs excess fluid. But there is absolutely no need to dry it, because it should still be wet. Put it in the middle of the fruit.
Now you need to prepare the foil. Tear off a large piece from the skein and fold it into approximately four layers. Next, you will need to make holes in it. You can temporarily use a regular bowl for a hookah. Pull the foil over it, take a toothpick or needle and make small holes starting from the edge. It’s better not to touch the middle itself, so the thrust is much better. Now put it on top of the grapefruit. Please note that the tension of the foil plays a significant role, the quality of the smoking device you make will depend on this. We pull the foil on top, and from below, we wrap the fruit around and fix it there. Now you need to fix it. To do this, again, resort to the help of toothpicks or apply a stapler. Well, if there is a building at home, but you can take a simple, clerical. Having retreated a couple of centimeters from the edge of the stretched foil, we begin to fix it in a circle with a stapler or stick in toothpicks.
We are finishing work
Many people wonder about the hookah on grapefruit: "How to make the bowl look aesthetically pleasing?" It is necessary to get rid of the excess edge of the foil. Carefully cut it with a clerical knife. So that the coals do not decay, and for better preservation of heat, a side can be made from the remains. Wrap it around the fruit so that the walls are raised a few centimeters up from the place intended for coal. You can fix the side in the same way as the foil itself: with a toothpick or a stapler.
That's all! Hookah on grapefruit with tobacco with a fruity aroma will perfectly relax you at the end of the evening and give you a great mood and peace.
