Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food colouring for water-based mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons
- Not suitable for fat-based mixtures (chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter): water causes chocolate to seize
- 20 ml dropper bottle for precise dosing
- Colour remains stable after the royal icing has dried completely (about 24 hours), with no change in shade
- 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)
- Typical 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 needed
- To colour chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-based range, not this water-soluble colouring

Frequently asked questions
Does the colour hold after the icing has dried completely?

How much should I use for a highly saturated shade?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you reach the desired shade, letting the mixture rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
