Kosher ink recipe

By -
Shalom,
does anybody here have a detailed recipe of kosher ink? It shouldn't be the best one, but it should be a relatively easy one. I would like to cook ink for educational purposes. And also, I prefer something that I could use relatively a short while after its preparation.
Thanks

    For ink to be kosher, it must not contain מי עפצים from oak galls. See:
    http://afatzim.blogspot.com/2011/06/blog-post.html

    There are kosher galls which are not produced by insects.

    The שלחן ערוך and the רמ"א say that ink should be made with עשן. But, אם כתבו במי עפצא וקנקנתום כשר . This applies only to kosher kind of afatzim, because ink must be made only from ingredients which are kosher, i.e. מן המותר בפיך . The באור הלכה explains the שלחן ערוך and says that:
    דוקא בדיעבד אם כתבו במי עפצים וקנקנתום כשר
    .

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?

The forum is back online...for reference and research purposes.

 Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the  STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
