Using flavours in ice cream.

Types of flavouring for ice cream

Generally water soluble flavours will work in ice cream. If the ice cream has a high fat content then a fat compatible flavour may also be suitable.

How to add the flavour

Our natural food flavourings are concentrated and should be mixed in well with your ice cream. For home use our 15ml bottles come with a handy built-in dropper so you can easily add flavour by the drop.

How much flavouring to use

We recommend trying approximately 1ml* to 3ml of flavour per kilogram of ice cream, then adjust to taste. Check the label to note any maximum use limits.

*1ml is about 20 drops.

Using flavours in chocolate.

Types of flavouring for chocolate

Generally flavourings are either ‘water soluble’ or ‘fat compatible’. While a water soluble flavour may work in a water based ganache the best results are obtained using fat compatible flavours. For flavouring chocolate itself a fat compatible or oil based flavouring should be used.

How to add the flavour

Our natural food flavouring should ideally be added to the melted chocolate and mixed in well. Our 15ml bottles come with a handy built-in dropper so you can easily add flavour by the drop.

How much flavouring to use

Foodie Flavours are highly concentrated so only a few drops are generally required. The amount you use will differ between flavours and vary according to your type of chocolate. As a guide, use between 1ml and 3ml of flavour per kg of chocolate and adjust to taste. Some flavours may have a maximum limit which will be indicated on the label.

Using flavours in baking.

Types of flavouring for baking

Generally flavourings are either ‘water soluble’ or ‘fat compatible’. Both typically work well across a variety of baking applications. However, a ‘fat compatible’ flavouring may better retain its flavour when baked.

How to add the flavour

Our natural food flavouring should ideally be added to a key wet ingredient and then mixed in well to spread throughout the food you are flavouring. Our 15ml bottles come with a handy built-in dropper so you can easily add flavour by the drop.

Foodie Flavours are highly concentrated so only a few drops are generally required. The amount you use will differ between flavours and vary according to your recipe.

Using flavours in coffee.

Flavouring coffee at home

The simplest way to add flavour to your coffee is directly from a Foodie Flavours bottle. The built in dropper in our 15ml lets you add flavour by the drop. Try one drop of flavour in a cup of coffee – keep in mind you may need to sweeten your drink for the correct flavour to come through.

Flavouring coffee beans

In a manufacturing environment water soluble flavours are usually sprayed directly onto the coffee beans. This is then naturally diluted when the final coffee beverage is made. Water soluble flavourings which use the carrier Propylene glycol are suitable for this spraying technique. They also leave a desirable satin sheen on the coffee beans.
