Turn of heat and divide into 4 equal portions (125ml each). 1 portion add yellow coloring and 1 portion add green coloring. Pour white layer first, slightly harden, then pour yellow layer, then white, then green. Chill in fridge to fully set at least 3-4 hour. Cut into 0.5cm long strips, then cut 2cm each. Arrange pattern alternatively to form zig zag pattern.
