• OR
• 2 cup(s) blueberries, crushed (for blue/purple)
• OR
• 1 teaspoon(s) ground turmeric (for yellow)

Preparation

1. Put your choice of coloring ingredient (beets, blueberries or turmeric) into a small pot with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, discarding any solids, and then stir in vinegar. Set aside to let cool until warm or room temperature.
