Recently in Russia it has become fashionable to hold the Halloween holiday. In honor of him, parties are organized at which guests dress up in various scary costumes, for example, the insidious vampire or witch. In order for the event to look as natural and intimidating as possible, various decorations are needed, of which the most basic part is blood. Accordingly, there is a problem how to make blood on Halloween, and it is rather difficult to solve it.
Indeed, in order to create a convincing image of an evil vampire, it is not necessary to have real blood. Yes, in joke shops, on shelves, it can also be found, but it is not always convenient to use. But nothing is impossible! There are many ways to make an imitation of
blood: capillary, venous and arterial, curled and fresh, non-food and food, drying and not. Halloween blood should be one in one as natural, stored for a long time, easy to wash, do not harm your health. Ideally, a pleasant taste is desired. Without it, a holiday and not a holiday at all, so let's look at several options for its preparation.
The cheapest and easiest way to simulate is beetroot blood. We will need: young beets, alcohol or vodka, sugar, water, vinegar, if desired - berry additives and flavorings. And now we’ll show you how to make beetroot Halloween blood. Rub the required amount on a fine grater, put in a saucepan and fill it with water two centimeters higher. Bring to a boil and boil a little, with stirring. Add a little vinegar and sugar, remove from the stove, cool. We introduce additives and flavors, add vodka. Alcohol and vinegar are conservative, and the latter also makes the product more vibrant and “bloody”. We filter the mixture from the saucepan through cheesecloth, two-layer, and that’s all - the artificial blood for Halloween is ready.
It is necessary to consider the following - sugar determines the degree of density of the product. You can boil the beet pulp again, seasoned with sugar and vinegar, but the result will be of worse quality. You can use it to water the “crime scene”. To get non-freezing blood, add a little gelatin to it. Store the finished product only in the refrigerator.
Now, how to make sugar blood for Halloween based on sugar syrup. You will need the following ingredients: sugar syrup - half a liter, red food coloring - two teaspoons, distilled water - a quarter cup, sifted flour / corn starch - a quarter cup.
First of all, we prepare the syrup. To do this, take: distilled water - 150 ml, sugar - 350 grams, citric acid - 2/3 teaspoon, soda - 1/4 teaspoon.
We heat water, dissolve sugar and bring to a boil. Then add citric acid and cook for 45 minutes on low heat, covering it with a lid. Remove from heat, cool a little and add baking soda. We are waiting for 8-10 minutes and remove the foam. We mix the syrup with the elements that remain, and that's it - the blood is ready. A very simple way and it looks very natural.
When dealing with the issue of how to make blood for Halloween, it is necessary to take into account some important facts about it. For example, the fact that if you use some imitations for a long time, then the skin and clothes will definitely get dirty, and it will be very difficult to wash them. So be careful.
In fact, do not limit your imagination and experiment. Your Halloween holiday should be a success.
