COLOUR MILL
Colour Mill Water-Based Burgundy Food Colouring
Burgundy shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures
Colour Mill Water-Based Burgundy evokes the deep velvet of an evening gown and an antique rose. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons. This shade is especially popular for sophisticated autumn wedding cake royal icing cookies and wedding anniversary cookies (ruby wedding anniversary).

Features
- Concentrated water-soluble food colouring 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 drop dispenser for precise dosing
- Colour remains stable once royal icing is fully dry (about 24 hours), with no change in shade
- Gluten-free, lactose-free, egg-free, peanut-free and soy-free
Directions for use
- Shake the bottle before use and add to a mixture at room temperature (18 to 22°C)
- Typical dosage: 2 to 4 drops per 250 g for a pastel shade, up to 20 drops for a dark shade
- Mix, then leave to stand for 15 minutes before adjusting the shade if needed
- To colour chocolate or ganache, use Colour Mill's oil-based range, not this water-based colouring

Frequently asked questions
Does the colour hold after the icing has fully dried?
Yes, the shade remains stable once the royal icing has fully dried, which takes about 24 hours. This makes it suitable for decorated cookies sold several days after they are made.
How much should I use for a richly saturated shade?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you reach the desired shade, allowing the mixture to rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap has a drop-dispensing opening: a gentle squeeze releases a precise drop.
