Chef’s Secret

For a richer flavor in desserts, bloom the powder with a small amount of hot water before adding to batter.

Substitutions

Best Match

Orange Extract

1 tsp (extract) : 1 cup (mix liquid)

Concentrated flavor, good for baking where liquid volume needs control.

Orange Zest

1 orange zest : 2 tbsp (mix powder equivalent)

Fresh citrus aroma and subtle flavor, no added sweetness.

Lemon-Lime Soda

1:1
