Here's what you do in order to make a smokeable extract of the Galangal root.

Required equipment:

- Galangal root powder
- Cooking pot with boiling water
- Dilute HCl
- NaOH
- Petroleum ether

Preparation Method

1. Place the pulverized roots in boiling water

2. Cook them for 10 minutes.

3. Filter them out. Repeat this process 3 times.

4. You can keep the liquid boiling, until only syrup is left. Dilute HCl is poured over it.

5. Basify the mixture with NaOH.

6. Put the mixture in petroleum ether and shake it well. Wait until it separates.
