Pour milk into a pot and place it over medium heat. Add beetroot and cook until the beetroot colors the milk pink. The longer you cook, the richer the color will be. But do not let the milk boil. If the milk boils before coloring, reduce the heat and cook a little longer. Then remove from heat and strain the milk into a separate pot.
