Black Permanent Ink
1/2 tsp lamp black (which you can buy or can make by holding a plate over a candle and collecting the soot or from collecting other char)
1 egg yolk
1 tsp gum arabic
1/2 cup honey
Mix together the egg yolk, gum arabic, and honey. Stir in the lamp
black. This will produce a thick paste which you can store in a sealed
container. To use the ink, mix this paste with a small amount of water
to achieve the desired consistency.
