hey veg glad you are going to work with this one.
i like ambil its super strong though so go easy, even the steam from cooking it can carry nicotine with it.

but when i make ambil i put a whole plant in, green.
fill a pot 3/4 with water and simmer it all day until it get low about 1/4 or a bit less.

then i will remove the tobacco, squeeze the leaves of water.

then you can add your other additives if you like.

now that tequesquite sounds really good, i would most definitely add some of that not sure how much but you may need to experiment with that one, you could add a little and always add more at the end if it needs it. how does one go about that?

in the book i recall reading some people add 2 avocado seeds, i have done this beofre not sure how it affects the ambil.
some cayenne pepper is nice as well, gives it an added spicey taste. and some sugar from sugar cane. to make it sweet.

but in a way i prefer it plain as well, jsut the alkaline, lime or ash and the tobacco.

anyway you can also add some plant that is going to make it go jelly like, i have used cornflour, in one batch. traditionally i think they add manoic starch/flour. but i forget.
i doesnt need alot of that, jsut a little to thicken is all i do, i actualyl prefer it as a soft resin, as opposed to jelly consistency.


so you reduce the last bit down with the lid off and on a low heat, until it goes real low and become thick, dont let it burn.
then scrap it out and let it cool it shoudl go harder and youc an stare it on a container. take about a matchead rub it on the gums or let it jsut dissolve in the mouth. good strong stuff.
go easy. especially if your tobacco is strong.

let us know how you go bro.
all the best any further Q ask away.
