We’ve already talked about how artificial food coloring can be harmful towards consumers, but we neglected to show you how to make any healthier alternatives. With Spring and March currently underway, is there any better color to work with than green? Look below to see how you can make your very own natural green food coloring.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Spinach
- ½ cup water
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, simmer the spinach and water for 2-3 minutes or until the spinach starts to wilt. Do not cover the spinach as it will dull the green color. Stir occasionally.
- Take the spinach and water off the heat and into a food processor or blender. Blend both ingredients until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer and filter out the leaves.
- Store your green food coloring in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
