Ancient Egyptian Traditional Kyphi Incense
(Kyphi Tsa)
This recipe was reconstructed from ancient Egyptian papyri.
Although an ingredient or two may not have translated correctly,
this should be pretty close to the actual incense used in Egyptian temples.
Amount (In Parts) Ingredient
3/4 Honey
3 Raisins
1/4 Copal
1/4 Myrrh
1/4 Orris
1 Sandalwood
1/4 Storax
1/2 Frankincense
1/2 Cinnamon (REAL stuff only, and grind it forever)
(enough to moisten mixture) Red Wine
(enough to roll balls in) Benzoin
Thoroughly grind all ingredients separately, then mix together groups
of ingredients by nature: resinous together, powdery together, etc.
Finally, mix all batches together, add red wine to moisten,
then roll into 5/8" balls and roll balls in benison.
Lay out on waxed paper for a week or so, until firm.

CAUTION:
Incense balls will look like donut holes.
Be careful that folks know that these scrumptious looking balls of incense
that you've left laying around are NOT edible!
The balls can be used when firm, but for best results,
they should be allowed to cure a few weeks.
Kyphi I've had for two years is better than ever.
