Here’s a photo tutorial that will show you how to make black walnut ink…
- find a black walnut tree (Juglans nigra).
- gather ye some nuts
- cover them with water and soak to soften (rot) fruit husks
- let squirrels help themselves to the nuts – we only need the husks to make ink
- simmer the husk in their soaking water for a few hours
- strain off the solids through a muslin bag…
