1/2 tsp. milk or water
Few drops food coloring
1 1/3 c. (about) flaked coconut

Mix milk and food coloring in a bowl. Add coconut and toss with a fork until coconut is evenly tinted. Makes enough to cover top and sides of frosted 8 or 9 inch layer cake.

Or place coconut in a glass jar, filling jar, not more than half full. Mix food coloring and milk; sprinkle over coconut. Cover jar and shake vigorously until evenly tinted.

Or place coconut on a sheet of white paper. Mix food coloring and milk; sprinkle over coconut. Then rub evenly through coconut.

Note: Liquid may be omitted in tinting coconut but coloring is less even. Add food coloring to coconut a few drops at a time and toss.
