The following is a recipe for Alizarene ink taken from the Household Cyclopedia of General Information, [1] which was published in 1881. The recipe is not one likely to be in common use now, though the preparation of inks with similar methods was common at one time. For much more see the external link below. Alizarene ink is a type of Iron-gall nut ink.
Recipe:
Digest 24 parts Aleppo galls with 3 parts Dutch madder and 120 parts warm water. Filter. Mix 1.2 parts solution of indigo, 5.2 parts sulphate of iron, and 2 parts crude acetate of iron solution.
This ink contains no gum, cannot get mouldy; the tannate of iron is prevented from separating by the sulphate of indigo. Alizarine ink may be evaporated to dryness and formed into cakes. One part with 6 parts hot water will then form an excellent writing fluid.
