Blood Recipes

For our teaser trailer we will need fake blood. We need blood that can be on the actors clothes as well as fake blood that can be in their mouths so it will need to be non-toxic if it gets eaten. We have three blood recipes, two non-toxic and one that is inedible, that we are going to try out.

Recipe 1

(Non-Toxic)

1. Combine 1 part water with 3 parts golden syrup
2. Gradually mix in a few drops of red food coloring (add a few drops of blue or green)
3. Stir in some corn flour to thicken it
4. Leave in a warm environment for 10 minutes to thicken even more

Recipe 2

(Edible Chocolate Blood)

1. Combine golden syrup with red food coloring until it begins to look like real blood
2. Add a small amount of cocoa powder to darken the shade of blood
3. If the blood is too thick add water to thin it, if the blood is too thin add in a few pinches of flour or corn flour to thicken it

Recipe 3

(Inedible)

1. Use 3 parts alcohol-free water-soluble hair gel 
2. Mix in motor or radiator lubricant until it turns watery
3. Mix in half of the mixture with red food coloring
4. Add a small amount of chocolate syrup to darken and thicken the blood

• For all of the recipes, condensed milk can be added to make the mixture more opaque.
• Dishwasher detergent can be added to blood that is going on clothes to stop it from staining.
