Ingredients

• 2 cup coconut (I used sweetened)
• 8 drops food coloring (I used red)

Preparation

Step 1

Place one cup of coconut into a quart size ziploc bag. Then randomly add 4 drops of food coloring on top of the coconut. Add the second cup of coconut and the other 4 drops of food coloring randomly.
Remove the air from the bag, seal it and mix until the color is even and thoroughly blended into the coconut.

Notes
You can use any color of food coloring in drops or paste. But, the drops are a little thinner than food coloring paste, so it may be a little easier to mix it into the coconut.

Color a little or a lot of coconut at one time. Just use my ratio of coconut to color for a medium color, or start out with a little food coloring and add more as needed until you get the desired color.
