I also cooked the seeds of a pomegranate for 5 a 10 minutes in 400ml water. This will turn a nice red/ pink/ orange color.

Later I wanted to try with the spirulina again. I made 50ml spirulina water (out of 2 teaspoons spirulina powder) and mixed 250ml water with 20g sugar. I put them together and added 8g glyserine and 60g gelatine. This gave a beautiful light green/ yellowish color.

I also tried it with a bit lest spirulina. I made 40ml spirulina water (out of less than a teaspoon spirulina powder) and mixed 200ml water with 16g sugar. I put them together and added 8g glyserine and 48g gelatine. This gave a yellowish color.

I tried to make blue out of red cabbage with a differt recipe. This is with agar. It took a few tries before I got it. At first I cooked the red cabbage and added a little bit of baking soda to make the water blue. But when I added the agar the water turned a deep green again.

Later I tried to make it without the baking soda but I got the same effect, only lighter. This one is a bit green/ white.

I figured it slowly becomes green because of the ph value. So I made sure the water was deep purple the third time and added the agar. First it became blue but then it started to turn green. Before that could fully happen I poured the mixture into the moulds. Now you can see it has a blue color when you put it down and when you hold it up it's a bit greenish.
