I would like to make colored salt....kosher salt...like for margaritas.?

Question

How do you color the salt? Is there a way to do it that is easy? How about in large batches...say 3 - 5 pounds at a time?

Answer 1

Food coloring. Just don't use too much and stir it A LOT to keep it from clumping.

Answer 2

Works best if you have a food processor. Pulse kosher salt in a food processor while adding a couple of drops of food coloring. You have to start with kosher or any coarse salt because it will get a little ground up in the food processor.

I've also added lime and orange zest which gives it a nice flavor. But the color is not as intense as with the food coloring.

Answer 3

You'de have to make the salt to change the color, its in the process of changing it. I would seriously go out and buy some. They have cheap ones for 3 bucks. It saves time too.

Answer 4

i think of that that's extra possibly that one and all recommendations sound like good ones after 4 margaritas. Cheers. 4 Margaritas is the only difference between a on the instant guy and a swinging bisexual one.

Answer 5

Food coloring is available at all grocery stores in the baking area and is tasteless and non toxic. just add a few drops of whatever color you want and mix it together. you can do sugar the same way .

Answer 6

1/2 to 1 cup salt with 1 drop food coloring should do it.
The problem with that is people are going to walk around with colored lips. ha ha ha!
