Permanent writing ink

Mix water, honey, charcoal, and nutgall extract. If you want a different color, replace charcoal with an appropriate ingredient. Boil the mixture until it's a thick paste. Wait until it's cold to use it. Keep adding water and honey as needed to thin and thicken. Don't use this on delicate writing materials because it'll ruin them.
