Natural Food Coloring

Here's another catch up post! Over the holidays we made sugar cookies and decorated them with frosting. I thought it would be a good opportunity to experiment with making my own food coloring!

We peeled a beet.

Then we juiced it.

Then we added a little bit to some powdered sugar. We didn't have to use much milk because the beet was juicy enough. We just played around until the consistency and color was what we wanted! I was so impressed -- it was easy -- and I can never get that bright of a color with the normal food coloring dyes anyway! What a fantastic color!
