Fake Blood- option 1

Realistic Syrup Blood (edible)

You will need:
1) Water
2) Corn syrup (golden syrup)
3)Red, blue, and green food coloring (might cut out the green nd use black and violet)
4)Flour, cornstarch, chocolate syrup, or maple syrup.
Make the basic mix.
1) Combine one part water with three parts golden syrup.

2) Add drops red food coloring gradually and mix gently by stirring.
3) Continue adding drops until the shade resembles that of real blood (always err on the side of adding less, as it's easier to add more).

4) Add a small amount of blue or green food coloring to achieve a more realistic shade. (Arterial blood is bright red, while venous blood is a dark maroon).

5) Add a thickener. Suitable thickeners include: Dry thickener. Add sifted flour or corn starch to your mixture, and whisk or stir it gently until smooth. If small lumps form, wait about a minute and the lumps will float to the top where you can remove them easily. Note: you can also use glycerine instead.

6) Wet thickener. Stir in thick chocolate syrup until the desired consistency (and optimal flavor) is reached.


7) Adjust your mix. If it is too pink or orange, add red.

8) Use blue cautiously Only add blue when you have at least put 3 teaspoons in and 1 drop of blue and you're confident it is still not dark enough and only add blue slowly

9) If it seems to be too purple, you'll have to start again––unfortunately, you cannot fix it just by adding more red.

10) If the mix is too transparent, add a little flour.

11) Let the mixture sit for ten minutes in a warm environment. This will give it some time to thicken and coagulate. And then you can freak people out with the fake blood—–it's a lot of fun!
