Colour Mill Water-Soluble Sand Colourant
Sand shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Sand evokes a dune at sunset and a deserted beach. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons. It is regularly used on royal-icing cookies, nature- and boho-themed wedding cakes, and icing for chic nomadic-themed events.

Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food colouring 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 squeeze dropper bottle for precise dosing
- Colour remains stable after the royal icing has dried completely (approximately 24 hours), without any change in tone
- 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 mix into 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 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.
