If you wish to retrieve the water but not the dye, add a stick of celery or two into the mixture and leave for a while. The dye will penetrate the celery, changing the colour of it, while leaving most (98%) of the water. This is called osmosis.

If you want to keep the dye but not the water, simply VERY slowly heat the mixture so that the water evaporates. Or, if you're not in a rush, leave in on a windowsill for a few hours or days for the sun to evaporate the water naturally. Eventually you'll be left with the dye. This is called evaporation.
