For one batch of the recipe:

Mix 3 teaspoons yellow water with 1 teaspoon red water

So, the ratio of teaspoons of yellow water to teaspoons of red water is 3:1

Now, we need 3 batches

so, the ratio will be


3\cdot(3\colon1)=9\colon3

so, we need to mix 9 teaspoons yellow water with 3 teaspoon red water

The taste will be the same because the ratio 9 : 3 = 3 : 1

As the ratio is the same, the taste will be the same
