What You Need for Milk Fireworks — Here’s What You Need to Make Your Own Milk Fireworks

Pour in just enough milk to cover the bottom of the plate.

Make a food coloring “bullseye” in the center of the plate. 2 drops of each color is plenty! Add other colors to your patriotic blue and red for a super STEAMy result!
