Incense Monastery of Athos 30 gr

Finely ground frankincense, rose oil and rose water are mixed into a dough that is kneaded again and again with constant prayer. At the end, the dough is rolled out thinly and cut into small strips with a knife and broken into pieces.
The pieces are turned in magnesium powder to prevent them from sticking together. And this is how it's done:

Take a fireproof saucer. Pour some fire sand into this and make 2-3 indentations in the sand with your little finger. Then place the charcoal tablet on the sand with the curve facing down. The grooves ventilate the charcoal from below and ensure optimal burning. (It's even easier with our incense burners, for example) Now you can light the charcoal with a match or lighter. Wait a minute or two for the charcoal to glow steadily. Now put the incense or the incense mixture in the hollow of the glowing coal. After about 20 minutes, the charcoal will have burned out and the mystical scent of incense or myrrh will remain in your room for a long time.
