Frankincense Royal | Somali Maydi – Edible Grade
** Edible as chewing gum or soak in water. **
The most common traditional way to make it is through a slow, overnight cold infusion.
## The Cold Infusion Method
1. Prepare the resin
1-2 small pieces
Take 1 or 2 small pieces (often called "tears") of edible frankincense resin. Give them a quick rinse under tap water to remove any surface dust.
2. Add to water
1 liter / 34 oz
Place the resin pieces into a clean glass jar or water bottle filled with about 1 liter of room-temperature mineral or purified water.
3. Let it soak
8 to 24 hours
Leave the container at room temperature overnight or for up to 24 hours. As the water-soluble gums in the resin dissolve, the water will gradually turn a cloudy, milky white.
*** Be warned: frankincense is incredibly sticky when hot and will leave a stubborn residue on your pots.
* **Listen to your body:** Frankincense water has a very strong, distinct taste. If you've never had it before, start with just a few sips a day to see how your stomach reacts to it.
