COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Burgundy Colourant
Burgundy shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Soluble Burgundy evokes the deep velvet of a ceremonial dress and an old-fashioned rose. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues and macarons. This shade is particularly sought after for royal icing wedding cake biscuits, sophisticated autumn bakes, and wedding anniversary cookies (ruby anniversary).

Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food colouring for water-based mixtures: royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues and macarons
- Not compatible with fat-based mixtures (chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter): water causes chocolate to seize
- 20 ml soft squeeze bottle with dropper for precise dosing
- Stable shade after royal icing has dried completely (approximately 24 hours), with no colour shift
- 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)
- 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 needed
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Does the colour remain stable after the icing has dried completely?

Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
