Fruit and berry mixes, such as grape, pineapple, and other citrus fruits, are suitable for an orange bowl. Spicy mixes with spices (for example, cinnamon) or fresh mixes with mint flavor also go well with orange.
Cooking technique:

Cut the orange into two halves and remove the pulp.
- Make a hole at the end of the fruit (if you use a calaud, its diameter should be larger than the hole in the fruit).
- Inside the hollow fruit, make a lattice of toothpicks.
- Put the tobacco mixture in the middle of the resulting bowl.
- Cover the tobacco mix on top with a sheet of foil, in which, using a toothpick or a knife, make small holes.
- Finally, put the coals for the hookah on top. The bowl is ready, you can start smoking.
When using calaud, it should be borne in mind that when heated, the orange pulp will stick to it.
