however there are easy solutions! The most popular of the bunch being flavour drops.<\/p><h4><strong>Oil based flavour drops<\/strong><\/h4><p>These allow you to easily mix with high fat products (such as chocolate!) without breaking the fat layer. As these also offer an authentic taste, it\u2019s a fabulous way to ensure you get your favourite flavours and retain the classic chocolate look and feel. However it\u2019s worth noting that oil doesn\u2019t play well with water. Trying to use these drops in a liquid would likely result in a layer of oil on top of the liquid.<\/p><h4><strong>Water based flavour drops<\/strong><\/h4><p>Much like the oil based drops, these are capable of carrying (water being the \u2018carrier\u2019 of flavour) great flavours and imparting these into desserts. However because they\u2019re water based this can break the fat in chocolate or any high fat product. So these are best suited to low to zero fat applications.<\/p><h4><strong>Adding the actual ingredient directly into your mix<\/strong><\/h4><p>This method is best suited for bakery applications, as adding fresh fruit or dried spices directly into chocolate can either break the fat or impart a gritty texture. For dried spices these can be easily added to cake mixtures without causing any major issues. The same applies to fresh fruit, though it\u2019s always best to strain any flavouring ingredient to remove excess water if necessary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e681c35 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e681c35\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c738bea e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c738bea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88e2615 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"88e2615\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dosage<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70efce7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70efce7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a parting note, the above is all well and good, but no good if you don\u2019t know how much to add!<\/p><p>When adding the raw ingredient directly into the mix, the profile and taste usually isn\u2019t that intense. Take for example green apple, a sour profile with a uniquely recognizable taste. To blitz and mix into a cake would impart a slight apple flavour, but nothing on the same level as actually eating that apple. This is why dosage holds so much relevance in chocolate making and baking, and why most opt for flavour drops due to their intensity.<\/p><p>With this in mind, flavour drop dosage should be accounted for in every recipe. Usually flavour drops require only a small amount to impart the flavour in question, so tend to be more cost effective and easier to use than matching this with the \u2018real\u2019 ingredient. However, do beware that too much of the flavour drops will overpower your base flavour, so perform a taste test before adding more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
