Distinctive botanical and spice flavourings for baking, including fresh mint, warming ginger and other concentrated flavours for cakes, biscuits, fillings, icings and confectionery.

Ideal when you want to move beyond the more familiar vanilla, citrus and almond flavours, these flavourings add freshness, warmth and aromatic character with only a small quantity.

Botanical and spice flavourings for baking

Mint and ginger can bring a very different character to baking from the more familiar vanilla or citrus flavours. Mint adds freshness and a clean finish, while ginger brings warmth and spice.

These concentrated flavourings are especially useful in cakes, biscuits, buttercreams, fillings, icings and desserts where you want clear flavour without adding much extra liquid. They can also be paired with chocolate, citrus or fruit for a more layered result.

If you are looking to broaden your baking cupboard a little, this is a good place to start - a small bottle can go a long way.
