to make grindable alfoil u can get some and put salt down a line in the middle. roll it up like a cigar and hold over the flame of a gas stove. the salt makes the flame hot enough to melt the al foil wich forms little balls on the salt.
pour boiling water on it to dissolve the crystals, then strain it
