Colour Mill Merlot Water-Based Colouring

Merlot shade, 20 ml bottle for water-based mixtures

Colour Mill Water-Based Merlot evokes deep burgundy velvet and a dark evening gown. This water-based food colouring is designed for water-based baking mixtures: royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons. It is a natural choice for high-end autumn wedding cakes decorated with royal icing 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): the water will cause the chocolate to seize
  • 20 ml squeeze bottle with dropper for precise dosing
  • Shade remains stable once the royal icing has dried completely (about 24 hours), with no colour change
  • 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 add to a mixture 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 leave to stand for 15 minutes before adjusting the shade if needed
  • To colour chocolate or ganache, use the Colour Mill oil-based range, not this water-soluble colouring

Ingredients and allergens

Ingredients: Water, colours: E129, E172, emulsifiers: E433, E405, thickener: E418, preservatives: E211, E202.

Please note: This colouring is water-based: never add it to melted chocolate or ganache, as it may cause the mixture to seize.

Frequently asked questions

Is this colouring suitable for royal icing?

Yes, this is its primary use: it is designed for water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based glazes, syrups, meringues and macarons) and dries without changing shade.

How many drops should I use for 250 g of mixture?

Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a bright shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It is best to add the colouring gradually.

Is it normal for the contents to separate in the 20 ml bottle?

Yes, slight separation between the pigment and carrier liquid is normal after prolonged storage: shake for 10 seconds before each use.
