Halloween cookie decorating with naturally colored icing

Описание: We prefer to avoid food coloring in our food, so we set out to make natural colors for our fall cookies, and to show you our process and results.

For small amount of cookie icing basic recipe is:
1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
1 dropper (1ml) of vanilla extract
about 3 droppers (3ml) of water depending on the thickness you want.
To this we added our powders to get the colors- turmeric root, annatto seed, activated charcoal, and instant coffee (or cocoa powder). We learned that annatto has a very strong color, so tiny bit is needed unless you want brick red color. Just play with amounts to get colors you want.
Put them into the freezer for a few hours or overnight to dry to avoid light splotches forming. Do not put them to the freezer once they are dry as that could actually cause the splotches.

Comment if you found some other ways to use food to make colors or to share how they turned out for you.
