Recipe:

  1. Burn the corners off of one sheet of paper with a lighter. I used A4, but I’m sure US Letter works too.
  2. Crumple it some and then straighten it out.
  3. Make some black coffee, any temperature and pour it into something that can fit the paper laying flat
  4. Bathe the paper until properly stained (or to taste, I guess)
  5. Roast the paper on 100 degrees C for 30 minutes with the convector fan running

The result is a perfect “treasure map” for use as a D&D prop during tonight’s session with my kids.

    I too made a variation of this recipe. Long day yesterday and put the new Dutch oven from Christmas on the stove to heat up some oil.

    Apparently there was a sticker on the bottom, nice smell.
