Blood Mix

This is a mix we have found is easy and cheap to make, and works rather well. We find it particularly useful for bloodbags. It's even washable!

Equipment

• A mixing bowl
• A kettle
• A spatula, spoon or paint brush.
• Boiling/pretty hot water.
• Golden Syrup.
• Red and Green/Blue food colouring.
• A squirt of washing up liquid.

Method

The base is Golden Syrup, use the cheap own brand stuff.
For a pint or so you will probably want 1/2 jars.

Pour all syrup into a bowl and add enough hot water (boiling from kettle) to thin to the desired consistency. Add a bit at a time and mix until smooth before adding more water.

Add a small squirt of washing up liquid and mix - helps to make the blood run well and wash out of clothing etc.

Mix in sufficient red food colouring to taste, and a tad of green or blue to darken as required.

Bottle and use as required.

You can use it in the mouth, no you can't really taste the "Fairy"! (Provided the squirt is small!)

Keep the mixture in the fridge for storing prior to use.
