Nicotine Content in Cavendish

[Northern Light Up]

I am wondering what happens to nicotine levels in home made cavendish.

Does the steaming lower nicotine levels?

Just steaming or even pressure cooking has no impact on the nicotine. If you allow the leaf to sit in water (and boil), then nicotine and other components will be extracted into the water. How can you tell? When I make Cavendish, the water at the bottom of the pot is still colorless when I'm done. If it's brown, then you've extracted something.
