Step 4Create the Markers (Litmus Paper)
Turning regular paper into litmus paper is bizarrely easy.
1) boil a ton of shredded cabbage in Deionized water (Not sure if this actually did anything but I used filtered water instead)
2) strain its purple juice into a collection jar
3) Pitch the shredded cabbage (I ate mine by blending with mashed potatoes to make purpley mashe potatoes)
4) soak your markers in the cooled juice for about 10 minutes (get each side evenly and watch out for floaty bits of cabbage)
5) Put them on a rack to dry evenly
6) Test out their color changing abilities. In theory people with more vegetarian diets pee more basic (blue) and meat-eaters tend to make them turn red.
