Why Sweet Citrus Cooler Stands Out

How to Prepare Sweet Citrus Cooler: Step-by-Step
-
Prepare Your Hookah Base
- Start by thoroughly cleaning your hookah. Rinse the base, stem, and hose to ensure no previous flavors linger.
- Fill the base with cold water, leaving about an inch above the downstem for smooth filtration. Add a few ice cubes for an extra refreshing touch.
-
Mix the Flavors
- In a small mixing bowl, combine equal parts Al Fakher Blueberry, Al Fakher Mint, and Afzal Orange.
- Gently mix the shisha with your fingers or a shisha fork, ensuring even distribution without over-compressing the mix.
-
Pack the Bowl
- Use a phunnel or vortex bowl for the best results.
- Semi-dense pack the mixed shisha into the bowl, leaving a slight gap below the rim to ensure proper airflow. The semi-dense pack strikes the perfect balance for smooth draws and vibrant flavors.
-
Prepare the Coals
- Light 2–3 natural coconut coals until they are fully glowing red. Ensure they’re evenly lit for consistent heat.
-
Assemble and Heat
- Place the bowl onto your hookah and secure it. Cover the bowl with heavy-duty foil, and poke small, evenly spaced holes for airflow.
- Add the coals on top and allow the bowl to warm for 2–3 minutes.
-
Start Smoking
- Take a few gentle puffs to get the session started. Adjust the coals if needed to maintain consistent heat and avoid overheating.
-
Enjoy the Sweet Citrus Cooler Experience
- Savor the refreshing burst of fruity sweetness, zesty citrus, and cool mint as the flavors blend seamlessly with each puff. Rotate the coals every 20–30 minutes to keep the session smooth and enjoyable.
