Also, using a capping machine you have a tamper to pack it all in. If you’re not using a machine then you might find that you can’t even get the original contents back in unless you devise a way to tamp it down.
If you decide get serious about it, then I’d highly recommend getting a very sensitive small scale to measure out the contents which will take out most the guesswork. Ebay is a good source for these. The hardest thing though is ensuring you have a good mix when you have dissimilar ingredients.
Shiver,
Thanks for all the info. I’m waiting for ingredients and a capping machine and rarin’ to go.
You mention the graininess and the difficulty in mixing.
I wonder if this can be achieved by using the sort of mill found on food processors. The one I have has a small grinder which can reduce granulated sugar to very fine icing sugar in seconds. Putting both ingredients in together should also ensure a good mix.
I’ll try it out when all the goodies arrive.
Thankfully I have a chemist’s balance which up to now has been a display item as it resides in a glass case. That’s about to change!
If I can achieve the results reported so far I shall be very pleased.
