Many sites out there (including mehandi.com, which offers the single most straightforward and practical recipe I have yet found) say to use tea or coffee as your mordant, for the acid. Specifically black tea. I am a big fan of *green* tea, and have lots of it around the house... has anyone tried using green or oolong tea in the mordant, or one of the stash teas (like Earl Grey or Darjiling..), instead of regular black? How well does it work?
