Beetroot Powder

(For homemade blush, natural food coloring, and lipstick)

Ingredients:

• 1 medium beet

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and thinly slice your beet (as thin as possible) or use a mandolin for this step. Place your beet slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put in the oven. Cook for 4-6 hours (until beet pieces are crunchy). Place all the beet pieces into your blender and blend until fine. Scraping the sides and top of the blender will give you the finest powder, best used for blush. Store in a cool dry place. To use this as blush add a couple drops of essential oil (I used lavender) in order to help the powder stick. Enjoy!
