Colour Mill Navy Water-Soluble Colorant
Navy shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based preparations
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Navy evokes a naval officer's uniform and a classic inkwell. This water-based food coloring is designed for water-based pastry preparations: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. This shade is especially sought after for royal icing cookies for classic wedding cakes and nautical-themed cookies for a boy's family celebration.

Directions for use
- Shake the bottle before use and add to a base 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 needed
- To color chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-soluble range, not this water-soluble colorant
Please note: this colorant is water-based: it must never be added to melted chocolate or ganache, as it may cause the mixture to seize.
