To make the above glow-in-the-dark:
Option 1: Cut a highlighter in half. Pull out the ink. Place in water. Let color ooze out. Add this mixture to the liquid part of the recipe. Make sure to add a little extra dry mixture to compensate for the extra liquid.
Option 2: Add a few drops of non-toxic glow-in-the-dark paint to the liquid mixture.
The mixture will need to absorb light in order to 'glow,' so sit the mixture under a light.
