In a well-ventilated room, mix water and super washing soda in pot and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer and add leaves. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 hours.
After the 2-3 hours, the water will look very murky.
Using the tongs, place the leaves in the colander and run under cool water.
Pour out the murky water and rinse out the pot. Fill the pot with just enough water to cover the leaves.
Add ½ cup bleach to the pot.
Place the leaves into the bleach water and allow to soak for 20-30 minutes.
Instead of using the brush to remove the skin of the leaf, place the leaf flat on your hand and run it under the sprayer on your kitchen sink.
After about a minute under the water, the skin should be completely removed.
Mix water and food color in the shallow dish according to the tint you want.
Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Remove from water and place on cooling rack. Allow to completely dry.
