I'm thinking it's worth a try. I'm not sure what the color strength would be. I think each of those packages cost about $.78 which makes it really reasonable (unless the color saturation is below expectations).
To start, my intent is to take a measure of the powder combined with a measure of distilled water and boil the two for a period of time to meld the two and to sterilize the mixture. Then I would strain it and put it into a small container for use.
The coloring is on the surface of the seeds, so there's no need to crush the seeds. For them I would follow a course similar to
this, using distilled water.
