Brown

This color you can get from a coffee grouts (filtered through a cheesecloth) and hot punch. How to cook hot punch?

Seize the recipe

Place 1 tbsp of caster sugar on a clean frying pan and heat sugar over medium heat until it gets a dark brown color and starts to smell. Do not forget to stir it constantly. Be careful! It is recommended to keep the sticky dark brown mass in a bottle.

If you combine the prepared mass with ethyl alcohol and draw it, after dissolving with distilled water (proportion 1:1) – you will get a polish drink “hot punch”.

Blue

In order to get a blue color use such coloring matter as indicarmine. It is usually sold as a dark blue paste. Dissolve this paste in water and get a clear blue color of a tincture.
