My Henna Paste Recipe
1.First Take 1 cup dry henna powder.
2.Take 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and boil hard in about 1 cup of water until it boils down to about 1/2 of a cup of dark liquid.
3.Mix just enough coffee into the powder to create a thick paste. The hot liquid will make the powder ball up a little, so be sure to mix it until it is well blended and smooth.
Add about 1 tablespoons lemon juice; fresh is best.
This should make a thin paste, but you don't want it runny. If it is too runny, add a little more sifted henna powder. If its too thick, add a little more coffee, or plain water.
Allow to settle and cool for about 2 hours.

That's it! It's a great, simple recipe, and above is a picture of the results I got with it. This one was already five days old when I took the picture.
