From Drawing magazine: New York artist Karen Gorst, who teaches
medieval techniques of drawing and calligraphy, offers her formula for
making ink:
3 parts boiled oak galls
2 parts ferrosulfate
1 part gum arabic
Boil the oak galls and water to the consistency of tea and let sit for 2
to 3 weeks to ferment. Add ferrosulfate and strain liquid this should
turn black immediately. Add gum arabic.
