2. Add drops of red food coloring to the water and stir until the water is deep red, count the drops of red food coloring as you add them (Figure A).

3. Add one drop of green food coloring for every four drops of red food coloring used in the previous step. Green and red when mixed together make black, so adding green dye to your red water will darken the water's color. Stir the contents.

6. Light the candles and enjoy (Figure B).
