The step by step of how to make a homemade glue that works
Step 1: Melt the flour in the cold water
In the liter of cold water that you have put in the pot, throw the 190 g of flour.
If you sift the flour previously, passing it through a fine mesh strainer, it will cost less to undo the flour and you will not have lumps.
On the contrary, if you have groups left, nothing will happen now in the fire, they will surely end up falling apart.
Step 2: Pot over medium-low heat and add the sugar
Put the pot on the stove, over medium-low heat and stir to finish breaking up the lumps. Once you see that the mixture is already hot, pour in the 300 g of sugar.
Stir well to melt sugar. Never let the mixture boil and beat a good time, minimum 5 minutes.
You can beat the mixture with electric rods or with an electric mixer.
A tip, always mix in the same direction, so surely the mixture will not be cut. This is like making mayonnaise.
Step 3: Vinegar and baking soda, the ingredients that will make it a spectacular homemade white cola
With the flour, water and sugar we would have a paste or homemade white cola base. But here we offer you our recipe with two ingredients that will make it the perfect cola: vinegar and bicarbonate.
So after a minimum of 5 minutes of stirring, add the 3 teaspoons of vinegar and stir 5 more minutes, always in the same direction.
Then put the two teaspoons of baking soda and watch the magic it produces. A foam will start to come out, it will look like you are making a meringue and it will even make you want to eat the mixture!
And keep stirring a few more minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
Stir the cold mixture, and voilà! Your perfect homemade glue for DIY crafts and to work with your children.
A cheap white glue, easy to make and without toxic elements for children.
