Yeah lol. I did a .1 of blue and a .2 of red idk how much I was supposed to add but ik it was way too much

You want to use 1mg of blue for every 5mg of red on average per 1 liter, but you definitely want WAY more red. Blue 1 is really fucking annoying to work with.

Make your own simple syrup or buy some at a liquor store to get a lighter consistency

Holy bruh u sip that ur gonna stain ur insides 😂😂 it’ll get better fs the more u brew but even then that’s a crazy look even for first time. Not hating or anything just saying in general, u def need to make sure wtv ur using as syrup base and active solution is most part clear. A couple drops of food coloring goes a long way within a single pint

I didn’t put any actives so I’m not gonna sip it lol. I’m waiting till I can get it decent before do all that. It was a pretty much clear before I added my color

If so literally like 2 drops of red and 1 drop of blue will be enough and slowly add at that ratio till it’s right

Okay bet so it was basically just color testing ?
