Step 24. Wearing rubber gloves, pour 2 Tbsp Golden Yellow powder dye or 1 Tbsp liquid dye into a measuring cup. Add 2 cups very hot tap water (140F); stir well. If your tap water is not very hot, heat water in the microwave or in a tea kettle.
Note: Liquid dyes are more concentrated than powder dyes. So if a recipe calls for powder dye and you prefer to use liquid, just use half as much. -
