You can use the classic Joss Powder (Makko) derived from the bark of the Litsea glutinosa tree. It becomes sticky when mixed with water and burns odorless. For a premium batch, use roughly 75% to 80% wild agarwood powder and 20% to 25% Makko. The Process: Mix the dry powders thoroughly first, then slowly drip in warm water until it forms a clay-like dough. Roll them into thin sticks or press them into small cones, then let them dry completely in a dark, well-ventilated room for a few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust added on hot embers \/ in a censer.
