COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Navy Water-Based Colouring
Navy shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Based Navy evokes a naval officer's uniform and a classic inkwell. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons. This shade is particularly popular for royal icing biscuits for classic wedding cakes and nautical-themed cookies for a boy's family celebration.

Should the dosage be adjusted according to the amount of mixture?
Yes, the recommended dosage is for 250 g of mixture: double or triple the number of drops proportionally for larger quantities.

Close it tightly after each use, store it away from light at 15 to 22°C, and use it within 12 months to preserve the intensity of the pigments.
