The device is quite simple and available to anyone who wants to enjoy good tobacco and grapefruit aftertaste. So let's considergrapefruit hookah. How to make it?
What do you need to make a grapefruit bowl?
If you are making such a bowl for the first time, we recommend that you carefully read how to make a grapefruit hookah. First, let's figure out what we need in this simple matter. We need a whole fresh grapefruit, kitchen foil, a large kitchen knife (preferably well sharpened), 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 kitchen cutting board, toothpicks, a couple of paper napkins and tobacco. The last one you can choose whichever you like. Great with a bowl of grapefruit fruit mixes are obtained (peach, watermelon, melon, green apple and even coconut). You can add a little mint tobacco, this will add a pleasant freshness to the smell of the smoke, and the tobacco will linger easily. Let's get straight to work.
How to make a grapefruit hookah bowl
Take a whole grapefruit and cut it open with a large kitchen knife. You need to cut off not half, but a little less, about a third, of 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 give it the desired shape. The cut should be as even as possible, in the future this may affect the quality of smoking. Now we need to turn our grapefruit over and put it cut down on the board. We takea 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. We take out the core. Let's flip it over again. Now you need to cut out the bowl itself.
How to properly cut the pulp
We pick up a large knife and carefully remove about half of the pulp. The new hole should be in the shape of an inverted cone, the entire middle does not need to be removed. It is better not to touch the zest itself, it should remain intact. Next, we need ordinary toothpicks. They are needed so that the tobacco that we put in the made bowl does not fall inside. They need to be stuck in the middle of the fruit parallel to the plank so that they form a grid. Use two or three toothpicks first, and then create a grid with 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 use a grapefruit bowl
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 variants of tobacco) and a paper napkin. Let's lay out a little of the first on the last. In the packaging, the 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 thrown away. Usually ifthe quality is good, such particles are quite rare. Some people do not understand one simple thing about grapefruit hookah: how to make tobacco burn longer? The answer is simple: you need to blot the tobacco a little with a napkin, it will absorb excess liquid. But it is absolutely not necessary 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 about four layers. Next, you will need to make holes in it. You can temporarily use a regular hookah bowl. Pull the foil over it, take a toothpick or a needle and make small holes starting from the edge. It is better not to touch the middle itself, so the traction 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 made will depend on this. We stretch the foil from above, and from below, as it were, wrap the fruit and fix it there. Now you need to fix it. To do this, again, we will resort to the help of toothpicks or use a stapler. It’s good if there is a building one at home, but you can also take a simple, clerical one. Stepping back a couple of centimeters from the edge of the stretched foil, we begin to fix it in a circle with a stapler or stick toothpicks.
Completing work
Many people are wondering about the grapefruit hookah: "How to make the bowl look aesthetically pleasing?" You need to get rid of the excess edge of the foil. Carefully cut it off with a utility knife. So that the coals do not disintegrate, and for better preservation of heat, a side can be made from the remains. Let's 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 it! Grapefruit hookah with tobacco with a fruity aroma will perfectly relax you at the end of the evening and give you a great mood and peace.
