How to Create Your Custom Grabba Mix
You have full control over your smoking blends. However, you want to choose your herbs carefully to ensure an even burn and balanced flavors. It’s helpful to think of herbal-grabba smoking blends as having three components:- Base Herbs
- Supportive Herbs
- Flavor-Enhancing Herbs
1- Choose Your Base Herbs - 2 Tablespoons
Your base herbs form the bulk of your blends, providing the body of your smoke. They’re usually neutral/flavorless so as to not overpower your other herbs.
Examples include non-psychoactive hemp flower or all-natural tobacco leaves. Mullein is also a great example because it's flavorless.
2- Pick Your Supportive Herbs - 1 Tablespoon
Your supportive herbs add personality and balance to your blends. To choose these herbs, ask yourself the effects you’re looking for from your grabba mix. Do you want to relax? Need something calming?
For example, if you want a chill smoking blend, you might choose lavender. This fragrant flower is associated with relaxation and anxiety relief.
3- Finish Your Blend with Flavoring Herbs - ½ teaspoon
Flavoring herbs add flavor in your blunt. Hint: This is when you’ll add your hot grabba chips!
You could also add other herbs to change the sweetness, aromas, and complexity of your blend. What herbs can you smoke for flavor? Some of the best smoking herbs include peppermint and lemon balm.
Final Tips for Your Smoking Blends
- The above proportions help ensure a consistent burn, balanced aroma, and balanced flavors. You can add more or less grabba to suit your tastes!
- Herbs purchased from a store can be dry. Give them a quick spritz of water so they’re not too harsh when you smoke.
- Want an even smoother smoke experience? Cut and dry your own herbs on a drying rack for a few days. Then, transfer them to an airtight container and let them sit for a few weeks so their flavors can meld and mature.
