Colour Mill Water-Based Sage Food Coloring
Sage shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures

It is a natural fit for royal icing on rustic wedding cakes, nature-themed cookies, and wellness treats.

Features
- Concentrated, water-soluble food coloring for water-based mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues, and macarons

- Shade remains stable after the royal icing has dried completely (about 24 hours), with no color 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 mix into a room-temperature base (18 to 22°C)

- 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-soluble coloring
