From my experience of almost every conceivable permutation and
combination of ingredients (except camel urine;-)), I have found that
cloves are the only thing that really darken the stain. I cook whole
cloves in lemon juice and then use that lemon juice to make my paste
and also my lemon sugar mix. My last batch was done this way; I kept
the design on my hand for only 2 hours (I wrapped it up too soon and
the design started to slide off) and the stain was DARK, DARK, DARK.
yum!
