From Notalynn on the Snuffhouse forum, 2019
About the simplest snuff you can make: leaf ground with a little salt, then sifted. This batch used 4 g of leaf and stems, most likely a Virginia.

Equipment
Digital scalesFor weighing tobacco, alkalis and salt accurately, which matters most when you're working in small batches.Mortar and pestleFor grinding small amounts by hand, crushing salt and alkalis to a fine dust, and working scent or moisture evenly into snuff.SievesFor separating fine snuff from the coarse bits after grinding.
Method
Rest time
None. It's ready to take straight away.
Tasting notes
Strong and fairly sweet, with leather and hay, and a scent that lasts a long time. There's no burn, just a faint sting like after a swim in the sea, and it leaves the nose feeling open.
Notes
To tone the salt down, make a second batch with no salt and mix the two.
