Let's say that it is not the way I do it, David.
The first warangan job I did was picked up from a book written by one of the old British colonials in Malaya, who had observed the process. Then I observed a man in Jogja then a number of people in Solo, then I was taught, hands on by Mpu Suparman. The Malay method was completely different to the Javanese methods, all of which varies a little bit but are essentially the same. Currently I use several different methods, but they are all similar. I use warangan from Jawa when I can get stuff of decent quality, it can vary in quality a lot. I prefer to use laboratory quality arsenic, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT anybody who has not been professionally trained in the handling of arsenic should consider using it. Everybody I know uses freshly squeezed tahitian lime juice that has been strained. |

Why Tahitian limes, Alan?
More acidic? |

Entertaining.
I'll bet Harry Potter would be a real dab hand at this sort of thing. |

One of his steps is to add 100ml babon to "catalyse the reaction".
What is babon? Google isn't giving me any leads. |

Ah I see, thanks Milandro.
This method seems very... elaborate. |
