Preparation & Use

Add green food color one drop at a time, stirring after each addition, until the desired shade is reached. For lighter pastel tones, use fewer drops; for deep saturated green, add more gradually. When tinting frosting or icing, mix thoroughly to avoid streaks. In batter or dough, incorporate the color before adding dry ingredients for the most even distribution. Store tightly capped at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
