To do so, simply simmer a natural liquid (you can either use fruit or veggie juice) to lower its water content and create a darker and more viscous fluid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To start, pour an edible liquid to a saucepan then cover it with a lid. You can go for red wine or prune juice if you want a darker color. After that, set it to medium heat then bring to a boil. In most cases, it will only take you a few minutes to boil a cup of water-based liquid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once it starts boiling, you can then reduce the heat and remove the lid on the saucepan. Continue stirring the liquid for around 10-15 minutes or until it gets reduced to approximately 2 tablespoons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remove the saucepan then pour the edible ink into a small bowl. Use a spatula to transfer every single drop with ease. Then, place it on top of an ice pack in your fridge and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once the ink has cooled enough, you can then apply it to the surface of a food you want to color in a single thin coating. Allow it to dry for around 30 seconds before you apply another layer. Make sure to store unused ink in the fridge and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap. Keep in mind that the ink will only last up to two weeks; you will have to discard it after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s actually possible to create your own edible ink by reducing any water-based and edible liquid.
