COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Lavender Colourant
Lavender shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Lavender evokes the lavender fields of Provence and the mauve hues of Berry. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based pastry mixtures: royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues and macarons. It naturally finds its place on royal icing biscuits for Provence-themed rustic wedding cakes and spring brunch cupcakes with sugar flowers.

Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food colouring 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 soft squeeze bottle with dropper for precise dosing
- Shade remains stable after royal icing has fully dried (approximately 24 hours), with no colour variation
- 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 leave to rest for 15 minutes before adjusting the shade if necessary
- To colour chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-soluble range, not this water-soluble colouring
Please note: this colouring is water-based: it must never be added to melted chocolate or ganache, as it may cause the mixture to seize.
Frequently asked questions
Is this colouring suitable for royal icing?
Yes, this is its primary use: it is designed for water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues and macarons) and dries without changing shade.
How many drops should I use for 250 g of mixture?
Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vivid shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It is best to add the colouring gradually.
A separation has appeared in the 20 ml bottle—is this normal?
Yes, slight separation between the pigment and the carrier liquid is normal during prolonged storage: shake for 10 seconds before each use.
