ink out of teabags
II. Rationale
The history and usage of ink can be traced back to the 18th century B.C., with the utilization of natural plant dyes, animal and mineral inks based on such materials.
Ink is a pigment in a liquid form or paste form used as colorants and dyes. Ink provides much of the color on paper in the modern world and has many uses in different cultures around the globe.
Also, they are becoming more and more expensive because of their increasing purposes. Although ink is universally available today, you can make your own ink out of teabags to experience one way people used to make it. Plus, you can use the ink after you’ve made it.
III. Problem
Statement of the Problem
Main Problem:
Do teabags have the potential to be created an ink?
Specific Problem:
1.) Can vinegar strengthen the color of the product, ink?
2.) Can cornstarch contribute to achieving the right consistency of the ink?
3.) Are the processes boiling and straining efficient in taking the extract out of the teabags?
Hypothesis of the Study
• Extracts taken from teabags have the potential to be made into an ink.
• If vinegar and cornstarch are added to the mixture, then the product would have a stronger color and thicker consistency than to an ordinary ink.
IV. Theoretical Background
Tea is created by using the leaves of a plant known as “ Camellis Sinensis “. This plant is native to mainland China, South and Southeast Asia, but it is today cultivated across the world in tropical and subtropical regions. It is an evergreen shrub or a small tree that is trimmed below 2 meters ( 6.6 ft ) when cultivated for its leaves.
Tea-drinking can be traced back to the 10th century B.C. in China before it was spread to Korea and Japan. Basically, this drink is made by brewing tea leaves to create an extract. Due to the chlorophyll and other pigments in the leaves, the extract commonly appears with a brown color.
