liquid question

Quoted message said:

I am wanting to turn water into a white thick milky substance, (it's a
party idea, don't ask) What can I add to water to turn it this color
and consistency? It should be safe and edible.

Food gums like xanthan or guar gum. Gum Arabic.

It seems like you want to transform it like some magic trick where it
happens instantly, or am I reading into it? If that's the case, check
with a magic shop. They'll likely have something for you.

And if not milky, something else.

The only thing that becomes to mind off hand is as others have said - corn
starch, but as (Dimitri?) pointed out, it will go clear when fully cooked -
the answer *may* be to only part-cook it - make up the starch and cold water
mix, heat gently, take off the heat when it starts to thicken but is still
somewhat opaque, stir in more water if it's too thick.

The only time I have ever seen this type of fluid as a party idea, it was
secreted within a very uniquely shaped cake. It was then connected to the
perpetrtor's hand by a tube and squeeze bulb in his hand. When he

squeezed

the bulb, the fluid ejaculated out of the top of the cake, at *precisely*
the most laughable moment. 🙂

I think they used water, some powdered milk, and tapioca, for those more
solid looking areas. But, since *I* had *absolutely nothing* to do with

it,

I"m only guessing. 🙂

The bride to be was totally surprised. Hope it turns out well for you,

Flour will thicken water when cooked, so one could use a mixture of
flour and cornstarch, maybe add a little confectioner's sugar if you
want to taste a little better. I wonder if some instant mashed
potatoes would work? Might even work when cold, but you'd have to
experiment a bit.

What they said, plus soak a bunch of white rice in water. Saw Emeril do
just that!

I 'think' what turns the rice water white is mostly talc -- I wouldn't want
to ingest talc.

Talc? Are you saying there's talc in rice?

Many years ago talc was commonly used to keep rice dry. That was one
of the reasons we always washed it. I believe it is no longer used, at
least in the U.S. I still wash rice but now it's to get rid of some of
the so-called enrichment, which is nothing more than an unregulated
dosage of a few vitamins sprayed all over the rice. And because if
rice has come all the way from Thailand (jasmine) or India (basmati) I
want to rid it of its road dust....-aem

Talc-coated rice is white rice that has a coating of talc and glucose,
giving it a glossy appearance. The coating acts as a preservative and the
practice was once widely used to protect rice during long sea voyages. Today
coated rice (clearly labeled as such) is available only in a few markets,
usually those specializing in South American foods.

White rice may be covered with magnesium silicate or with a mixture
consisting of talc and glucose (also known as "talc-coated rice"😉.

Today coated rice is available only in a few markets, usually those
specializing in South American foods. It must be thoroughly rinsed before
cooking, as the talc can be contaminated with asbestos.

try instant vanilla pudding - after you make the pudding and it sets, add
water until it is the consistency you want.
(a tiny bit of blue food coloring will make it look less yellow and more
white, btw)
