How to Prepare the Perfect Shisha with Mawwal Molasses

Shisha isn’t just a smoke—it's a ritual. And when that ritual is infused with the rich, aromatic touch of Mawwal Molasses, it becomes a true celebration of Lebanese craftsmanship and flavor.

Mawwal is a proud Lebanese brand offering authentic, high-quality molasses in five classic and beloved flavors:

• Double Apple (Two Apples)

• Lemon Mint

• Mint

• Mint Gum

• Gum

Whether you're a shisha connoisseur or just getting started, here’s a simple guide to preparing the perfect bowl using Mawwal Molasses.

What You’ll Need:

• A clean shisha (hookah) setup

• Mawwal molasses (your flavor of choice)

• Premium charcoal

• Aluminum foil or a heat management device (HMD)

• Tongs, poker, and a shisha bowl (preferably phunnel-style for juicier molasses)

Step-by-Step: Preparing Your Shisha with Mawwal

1. Choose Your Flavor

Each Mawwal flavor offers a distinct experience:

• Two Apples – Deep, sweet anise kick

• Mint – Classic and crisp

• Lemon Mint – Fresh and zesty with a cooling twist

• Gum – Subtle, creamy, and nostalgic

• Mint Gum – A smoother mint with a chewy sweetness

Pick one based on your mood—or mix two for a custom blend.

2. Pack the Bowl Gently

• Fluff the molasses lightly into your bowl using your fingers or a fork.

• Don’t overpack or compress it—Mawwal molasses is rich and juicy, and airflow is key.

• Leave a small gap between the top of the bowl and the foil or HMD to avoid burning the tobacco.

3. Cover with Foil

• If using foil: use double-layered heavy-duty foil and poke evenly spaced holes across the surface.

• If using an HMD: just place it gently on top.

Pro tip: Preheat your HMD or foil slightly before adding the coals for a smoother start.

4. Light Your Coals

• Use natural coconut coals for best taste.

• Light them until fully red and ash-covered, then place 2–3 evenly around the bowl.

5. Enjoy the Session

• Take a few gentle puffs to get the session started.

• You’ll notice Mawwal’s bold yet balanced flavors and smooth smoke.

• Rotate your coals every 15–20 minutes for even heat and longevity.

Tips for the Best Experience:

• Use cold water in your base—add mint leaves or a lemon slice for extra freshness.

• Clean your hookah regularly—Mawwal’s natural molasses deserves a pure base.

• Mix flavors like Lemon Mint + Gum for an unexpected, crowd-pleasing combo.

Whether you're kicking back with friends or enjoying a quiet evening, Mawwal Molasses brings the heart of Lebanon to every puff. Bold, smooth, and unmistakably authentic—this is how shisha should taste.
