Blame Dav, he posted it for me. Amateur.

I'll edit it now for the benefit of those who can't visualise such simple ingredients, or form the recipe. Srg.

You will need

fresh red cabbage

sharp knife

cutting board

hot tap water

7 clear plastic disposable cups

7 plastic spoons

large plastic bottle

range of the household substances which may include:

powdered toilet cleaner, vinegar, lemon juice, white wine, lemonade or citric acid,

pure water, shampoo or baby shampoo

bicarbonate of soda

milk of magnesia, washing soda or floor cleaner

dishwasher liquid or powder

What to do

Using a sharp knife and cutting board, finely slice three or four red cabbage leaves.

Place the cabbage leaves in the plastic bottle, half fill the bottle with hot water and screw the lid on tightly.

Shake the bottle for a few minutes until the water becomes a deep purple colour. Leave the solution to cool.

Strain the solution and add sufficient water to the solution to make about 1 L.

In each of the cups, place a small amount of one of the above household substances.

Now half fill each cup with the red cabbage water and stir the solution.

If arranged in order, the jars should display a spectrum of colours from cherry red (strongly acidic), pink-red (acidic), lilac (slightly acidic), purple (neutral), blue (slightly basic), green (basic) and yellow (strongly basic).

And serve......

Seen one similar in Asda the other day for a fiver, hope it didn't take you long

Finishing spray alone cost over £6 and it took me hours. It would take s pro about 1.

Like to think mine tastes better than shop bought though :-)

Just made some fab marinade peeps, thought I'd share the recipe, it's easy peasy and delish.

Sticky Chicken Wings

800g/1lb 12oz chicken wings

6 tbsp light soy sauce

150ml/15oz full fat cola

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2 tbsp olive oil.

1. Place chick wings in large bowl or dish. Pour over soy & cola, then add garlic. Mix well. Cover & leave in fridge overnight to marinade.

2. Heat oil in a large fry pan. Remove chicken, save marinade for later. Fry wings in a single layer in the hot pan for 3-4 mins on both sides or until lightly coloured. You might need to do this in batches.

3. Pour over reserved marinade ( adding all the wings to the pan if you did them in batches) and 300ml of water. Cook over a nedium heat, turning occassionaly for 10-15 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is reduced and sticky. Best served hot.
