I finished a snus recipe over the weekend
here is what I did:
ground 250g tobacco, 60% Dark fire cured, 20% Virginia, 20% Burley
put 6g kosher salt in 40g water & added it to the ground tobacco
cooked it in the crock pot for 40 hours @ 93 C
put 7g sodium carbonate in 40g water & added it to the cooked tobacco mixture (it bubbled & hissed & gave off noxious fumes while mixing)
then I cooked this in the crock pot for 6 hours @ 93 C
Cooled it in the fridge overnight
scooped it in my copenhagen cans (2) & froze the rest
Sampling!!
Tastes not nearly as harsh as copenhagen, but there is an underlying nicotine hit that really packs a punch.
For my first time making my own snus I find it Quite satisfying.
