For Crystallizing Grasses

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the rock alum in 3 pints of boiling water and let it cool completely.

  2. In a wide-mouthed vessel, hang a few grasses at a time in the solution.

  3. Ensure the grasses are not too heavy, or the stems will not support them.

  4. If desired, reheat the alum solution to add more grasses.

  5. Add a little food coloring for variety, if desired.
