Purpleish Red Velvet Ink

[naatelovesyou]

I made this ink a couple minutes ago. with an entire beet

125 ml of water (1/2 a cup for Americans)

approx. 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of Vinegar

5 g of salt (about a teaspoon)

put it to a boil and then drain

cool off for 5 minutes and you can use immediately

I used a jinhao x450 so that I would be depressed if I lost it

but it came out perfect for me so ))) also I added a bit of perfume

because the vinegar smells beyond gross and the perfumes masks it

Good experiment ! show us more pics .

Pretty cool! I once tried to make ink with tea, but it didn't come out all that good.

 

May I ask what the vinegar and salt are for?

vinegar is to make the bacteria not grow

salt is to preserve it

[inotrym]

Thanks for the info.

 

I might try it too someday.

You might want to try whole cloves instead of vinegar and salt. I understand cloves work well for both a preservative and to keep the bacteria from growing. Smells good, too, so no need for perfume.
