COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Lavender Water-Based Food Colouring
Lavender shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Hydrosoluble Lavender evokes the lavender fields of Provence and the pale purple of Berry. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. It is a natural choice for royal icing cookies for Provence-inspired rustic wedding cakes and spring brunch cupcakes with sugar flowers.

Frequently asked questions
Is this colouring suitable for royal icing?
Yes, this is its main use: it is designed for water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons) and dries without changing shade.
How many drops should I use for 250 g of mixture?
Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vibrant shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It is best to add the colouring gradually.
Is it normal for the contents of the 20 ml bottle to separate?
