The powder is then poured into a bowl, to that add 60ml of lemon juice and whisk it constantly to mix up. After proper mixing sugar and Lavender oil are added, then whisk again until it becomes silky smooth. The bowl containing the mix can be kept then at room temperature for few minutes with wrapping to allow the dye to separate. More lemon juice can be added to the dye which comes onto the surface of the mix to get smooth consistency.
