The keys to fluorescence are the vitamin B2 pills and tonic water. Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is fluorescent under UV light, as is the quinine in tonic water.

Quinine also has a distinctly bitter taste, which Unatra says is unfortunately noticeable in the rice later.

He also posted this video of the toxic-looking brew bubbling in the pot.
