📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pink
2
In a blender or food processor, blend the beets and juice together until smooth. Pass through a sieve to remove the beets and save the beet liquid which is your food coloring.
3
Store in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.
4
Yellow
5
In a small saucepan, simmer the water and turmeric for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Allow to fully cool.
6
Store in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator. Turmeric can stain, so use a container you don’t mind turning yellow.
7
Purple
8
In a blender or food processor, blend the blueberries and water together until smooth. I like to use frozen berries because they have better color when defrosted. Pass through a sieve to remove the skins and pulp from the mix so you are just left with the purple liquid.

Store in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.

Green

If using fresh spinach, in a small saucepan, simmer the spinach and water for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Don’t cover the spinach as it will dull the green color. If using frozen and thawed spinach skip this step.
12
In a blender or food processor, blend the spinach and water together until completely smooth. Pass through a sieve to remove the leaves.
