Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food coloring for water-based mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons
- Not compatible with fat-based mixtures (chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter): the water will cause the chocolate to seize
- 20 ml soft squeeze bottle with dropper for precise dosing
- Stable color after royal icing has fully dried (approximately 24 hours), without any color shift
- Gluten-free, lactose-free, egg-free, peanut-free, 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)
- Typical 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 color if needed
- To color chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-soluble range, not this water-soluble food 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.
