How to Make a Turmeric PH Indicator
- 1). Measure two heaping teaspoons of turmeric into a plastic cup.
- 2). Pour enough denatured alcohol into the plastic cup to cover the turmeric.
- 3). Stir the turmeric-denatured alcohol mixture with a plastic spoon. Allow the turmeric to settle to the bottom of the cup, leaving a clear, yellow fluid above the turmeric.
- 4). Cut unbleached toilet paper or coffee filters into narrow strips about 3 inches long and 1/2-inch wide each using scissors.
- 5). Dip the end of each strip into the clear, yellow liquid in the plastic cup.
- 6). Place each dipped strip on a plastic plate.
- 7). Allow the dipped strips to dry.
