Colour Mill Green Water-Based Food Coloring
Green shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Based Green evokes the freshness of a Granny Smith apple and a tender spring sprout. This water-based food coloring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. This shade is especially popular for royal icing on birthday cupcakes for children with a jungle theme, as well as nature- and garden-themed cookies.

Features
- Concentrated, water-soluble food coloring 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 squeeze bottle with dropper for precise dosing
- Shade remains stable once royal icing is fully dry (about 24 hours), with no 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)
- Typical amount: 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 shade if needed
- To color chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-based range, not this water-based coloring
