DIRECTIONS: Please Note: Natural Food Colours are extracted from plants and so these pigments are naturally pH sensitive. Most plants are slightly to moderately acidic and so natural colours work best with slightly acidic ingredients.
Egg whites, cows milk and some tap water are alkaline. With these ingredients the red, pink and purple colours will tend towards blue/grey. To correct this please ensure that you add some acidic ingredients such as citric acid, citrus juice or cream of tartar to your mix. For example:
Meringue: Add 1/8 tsp cream of tartar per egg.
Cakes with egg: Add 1 tsp lemon juice.
Icing Sugar: 2 drops lemon juice per cup of sugar.
Size: 1x15ml bottle
