Colour Mill Water-Soluble Mint Colourant
Mint shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Mint evokes a fresh mint leaf and retro chewing gum. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues and macarons. It is a popular choice among cake designers for royal icing biscuits, pastel spring vintage wedding cakes and flower-shaped cookies for spring tea parties.
