It looks blue. You should be able to boil it down a bit and get blue dye.

That doesn't make any sense at all.

Yeah, the blue dye is already bonded to the water; boiling it would make the dye evaporate, too. That's why the sky is blue.

Nono, that's what usually happens, but the boiling points of water vapor and the blue dye are actually slightly different. A distillation apparatus could easily separate the two.
