Spread the coarse sea salt evenly and thinly on a smoking rack or shallow tray. Optionally mix in dried cherry blossoms.

2

Cold Smoking

8-12 hrs.

Keep the smoker at 15-25 °C and use cherry wood chips. Cold smoke the salt for 8 to 12 hours, turning once halfway through.

3

Drying and Storage

24 hrs.

Pro Tip

Turn the salt once during smoking to ensure even smoke absorption. The longer the smoking time, the more intense the flavor.
