{There are a variety of ways I have seen these displayed, and I really have to say I adore the little wrapped ones.}
{I suspect you can use corn husks, plantain/banana, bamboo, fig, grape, and even lotus leaf to wrap them.}
{Twine and other strings along the hemp or other coarse materials may work well, something in the medium thickness range would probably be best.}
{Cleaning the leaves beforehand might be a good idea.}



Sounds like vanilla-cinnamon shortbread…
…LOTR style!
Anything LotR style is good, yeah? And I haven’t really tried much in the line of shortbread, unfortunately…
Yup! LotR makes everything better…
…except for mayber genocide and deforestation.
