Re: Let's have fun!
Very nice what did you use for colouring?
Maybe Butterfly Pea Flowers for the blue ?
Palma Violets for the other ?

Re: Let's have fun!
Yes it does in time, over a few months.
I put the flowers in the water I am going to dilute with.
Stir and let sit for an hour or so, while you make your
Gin. Then filter into the gin, no bits then

Satsuma segment sized piece of fresh beetroot dipped in quickly gives a mild pink tinge. Or tsp ribena, but that adds a taste.
