We recently spoke with Dr. Sreekumar, founder of Krishna Inks, and he shared a guide on how to make dip pen ink at home using beetroot, so you now officially have something fun to add to your &#8220;not leaving the house&#8221; to-do list.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Dip Pen Ink at Home: Krishna&#8217;s 7-Step Process<\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/krishna\/\">Krishna Ink&#8217;s<\/a> Dr. Sreekumar, there&#8217;s a simple 7-step process (that all of us can manage) for making dip pen ink at home. Have a bit of free time on your hands? Trying to think of things to do to fill your hours at home during the lock down? Ready for a new fountain pen world challenge? Give it a try and see what you think.<\/p>\n<h2>Making Dip Pen Ink: Beets Aren&#8217;t the Only Option<\/h2>\n<p>You can make different colors of ink by using different natural sources to this basic recipe(i.e. acorns, certain berries, black walnuts, and&#8230;you guessed it, beets). Using beets to make your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/fine_pens\/dip_pens\/\">dip pen<\/a> ink will result in a purplish red ink color that is really quite beautiful. Generally speaking, the ink-making process means heating, straining, and dedicating some time. Give it a try according to Dr. Sreekumar&#8217;s instructions and then maybe do some experimenting of your own using different natural materials.<\/p>\n<h2>Supplies Needed to Make Dip Pen Ink at Home:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1 Large Beet (or more if you want to make more ink)<\/li>\n<li>Grater<\/li>\n<li>Pan<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Mesh Strainer<\/li>\n<li>Vinegar<\/li>\n<li>Glue (liquid)<\/li>\n<li>Empty Ink Bottle or Jar (with a lid, to store your ink)<\/li>\n<li>Dip Pen (only use this ink with dip pens, NOT recommended for fountain pens)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Make Dip Pen Ink at Home Using Krishna Ink&#8217;s Dr. Sreekumar&#8217;s Formula:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5086 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg\" alt=\"Step by step Krishna Ink on Making Dip Pen Ink at Home - Grating\" width=\"376\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step One: Grate your beetroot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3B-Krishna-Ink-Guide-to-Making-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3B-Krishna-Ink-Guide-to-Making-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg\" alt=\"Boiling Beet Juice to Make Ink\" width=\"366\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3B-Krishna-Ink-Guide-to-Making-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg 366w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3B-Krishna-Ink-Guide-to-Making-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home-294x300.jpg 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Two:<\/strong> Place your grated beet into a pot along with 1 1\/2 cups water and heat to boiling.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5088 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg\" alt=\"Filter Beet Juice to Make Ink\" width=\"373\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home.jpg 464w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4B-Krishna-Ink-How-to-Make-Dip-Pen-Ink-at-Home-300x265.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three:<\/strong> Carefully pour the water\/beet mixture through your mesh strainer into a separate container.
