Quote:I also wanted to make a cauldron full of some punch concoction. I wanted to have it like a witches\' cauldron and have smoke rising from it at all times pretty much (for which I\'ll probably use dry ice) and I\'m wondering - Is it safe to drink the punch if the dry ice is just dropped into the punch itself? Or does it need to be not touching the drink?It is OK to put Dry Ice into beverages for drinking as long as the dry ice is food grade. Use 2 to 4 pounds of Dry Ice for each gallon of room temperature punch. Use large pieces of Dry Ice not small pieces. The Dry Ice is heavier than ice and will sink to the bottom. Do not use any regular ice! The Dry Ice will do the cooling and must not be eaten or swallowed. Too much Dry Ice will freeze the beverage so have extra standing by. It will bubble and give off the most fog when the beverage is room temperature. When most of the Dry Ice has sublimated, it will surround itself with ice and float to the top. There is still a small piece of Dry Ice in the center of these ice pieces so do not serve or eat them. Carefully ladle the beverage into drinking glasses without any Dry Ice. Add regular ice to glasses for cooler drinks.
Sorry, long way around a short question

**(Food grade means the CO2 used to make the dry ice is the same quality CO2 as used for soda fountains and also the dry ice can be used to transport food and produce.)
A first grade teacher gave me the best recipe for \"witches brew\": 1 can Grape Juice. (Dark color) 1 can Pineapple Juice. (Strange pulpy texture) 3-5 pounds of food grade Dry Ice. (Do not use regular ice) Mix room temperature juices together. When ready for special brew add the Dry Ice. Do not touch Dry Ice directly, but use insulated gloves or tongs. Ladle juice into cups without any Dry Ice and it will be perfectly safe. If you want cooler drinks add ice to the cups not the punch bowl.
