Instructions

  • To make edible alcohol inks you need a fairly small ratio of food coloring to a large ratio of everclear alcohol. Start with 10-15 drops of food coloring for darker colors to half an ounce of alcohol. For lighter colors, like yellow, you’ll need closer to 30 drops for half an ounce of edible alcohol ink.
