how to make real glue at home without maida
Answers
Ingredients:
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons powdered dry milk or 1/4 cup of warm milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
More water, to reach desired consistency
Instruction:
Dissolve the powdered milk in the hot water. If you're using regular warm milk, start with just that.
Stir in the vinegar. You'll see a chemical reaction occur, separating the milk into curds and whey. Continue stirring until the milk has completely separated.
Filter the mixture through a coffee filter or paper towel. Discard the liquid (whey) and keep the solid curd.
Mix the curd, a small amount of baking soda (about 1/8 teaspoon), and 1 teaspoon hot water. The reaction between the baking soda and the residual vinegar will cause some foaming and bubbling.
Adjust the consistency of the glue to suit your needs. If the glue is lumpy, add a bit more baking soda. If it is too thick, stir in more water.
Store the glue in a covered container. It will last 1 to 2 days on the counter, but 1 to 2 weeks if you refrigerate it.
