Take the product you are going to use to dye the garments (in our case, we’ll go for beets), wash it well, and cut it into big chunks. You can remove the skin if it has skin, but don’t throw it away. Peels will also serve to give color to the garment.
Put water in a pot and put it on the stove. Put it on high heat and bring it to a boil.
Add the big chunks of the natural product you’re using to dye to the pot and let them boil for about an hour on low heat or at least until the water turns into the desired color. Afterward, remove all the pieces of the product and soak the clothes or fabrics in the colored water.

Note: The pot should have just enough water for you to be able to soak the garment completely. If you add too much liquid, the final color of the dyed fabric will be much lighter. You must also take into account that, due to evaporation, the water level will decrease the longer you boil the product.
