Just fer the hezmana of it...
Excerpted from 'Alcohol Fermentation':
Heat a small amount of the spirit in a pan until it is well warmed. Turn off the heat, then put a flame to the warmed alcohol. If it is `clean' spirit with few impurities, it should burn with a steady blue flame. If the flame is flecked with yellow or orange, or if the flame sputters while burning, do not drink it - use it as an embrocation (rubbing, massage} instead.

Colors
For those interested in flame colors:{Some but not limited to...} Not necessarily drinkable, possibly DEADLY!

Carmine - Lithium Chloride

Red - Strontium Chloride

Orange - Calcium Chloride (a bleaching powder)

Yellow - Sodium Chloride (table salt)or Sodium Carbonate

Yellowish - Green Borax

Green - Copper Sulfate

Blue - Copper Chloride {already in water}

Violet - 3 parts Potassium Sulfate
1 part Potassium Nitrate (saltpeter)

Purple - Potassium Chloride

White Magnesium Sulfate - (Epsom salts)

Very true. My mistake.

Perhaps a more accurate statement would be that it has a flavor and odor that is more easily masked by whatever it's mixed with. . .which is why it's such a universal mixer?

I honestly don't have a taste for many types of alcohol. . .I'm a close to exclusive in my tastes to Jameson and Bushmills whiskeys. I simply assumed Everclear would be the best choice since it's used in so many other combinations.

I suppose as far as alcoholic mixers would go for Mudder's milk, you can add what you like. With MY recipe, I was not going so much for yummy flavor as I was 'script accuracy'. . .

I don't know for virgin things, but for them as want to make something accurate to the show - SlimFast and Baileys, with vodka or spiced rum for extra kick. Whatever you use, you'll want it to be thick, almost gloppy. Ya know, a little unflavored gelatin (Knox) goes a long way.

I may also have cracked the mysteries of Ice Planet, if anyone is keen.

Funny you should mention that, my husband died drinking that stuff - twice. (This isn't a temperance lecture, I swear.) He drank two bottles, straight, in one sitting, while he was USAF. Thankfully, he passed out on the picnic table where he and his friend liked to congregate. They happened upon him, dragged him to the hospital, and ran like hell. While the doctors were working on him, he arrested twice and each time came back on his own. True story. I also had a friend who used to carry a camel-back of Everclear and orange juice on his back all day, and I mean starting at 8am.

Err, in the interests of keeping the party Not TOO interesting, I'd suggest eggnog mix--the kind they sell in the stores is non-alcoholic. Or vanilla soy milk, maybe mixed up in a blender with some ice cubes and bananas to thicken.

for people wanting to make it somewhat more show accurate, if I remember right, Simon said that it was like the beer the pharohs served to their slaves, there's probably all kinds of recipes for beer online that can be brewed and not have the sediment removed. *GAG*

not my favorite idea for a drink, but there it is.

Yeah, that doesn't sound very good. Beer shouldn't be crunchy. Simon did say "ancestral form of beer" and the final forms of things are often widely different from how they started, so maybe it wasn't really very beer-like at all.

Does Simon's description of "liquid bread" set off anyone's mental hamster wheels? I didn't do anthing for mine, not yet at least.

What if Mudder's Milk were more like a soup? Maybe like a good potato soup, but you add a good deal more than the shot of vodka called for in some recipes.

I have tried beer made from an ancient egyptian recipe. Quite yummy if you like chewy beers (probably closest a brown ale). sweet (since no hops to bitter it down). Beer hasn't changed much over the millennia (other than the hops, that swill 'light beer', and the stuff with the rooster added).

Why are people thinking it has to be thick? I don't remember anything from the show. The bottles had a pretty narrow mouth, not something you could get potato soup through.

Thank You Kindly.
