Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food coloring for water-based mixtures: royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues, and macarons
- Not compatible with fat-based mixtures (chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter): water causes chocolate to seize
- 20 ml flexible dropper bottle for precise dosing
- Shade remains stable after royal icing has dried completely (approximately 24 hours), without any change in tone
- Gluten-free, lactose-free, egg-free, peanut-free, and soy-free; suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets
Directions for use
- Shake the bottle before use and add to a mixture at room temperature (18 to 22°C)
- Usual dosage: 2 to 4 drops per 250 g for a pastel shade, up to 20 drops for a dark shade
- Mix, then let stand for 15 minutes before adjusting the shade if necessary
- To color chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-soluble range, not this water-soluble coloring
Please note: this coloring is water-based: it must never be added to melted chocolate or ganache, as it may cause the mixture to seize.
