Spices and Christmas go together like, well frankincense and myrrh! For many of us, the smells of the festive season are associated with spices - from the aroma of mulled wine to clove-peppered ham or nutmeg in eggnog. But make Spices part of every occasion with Spice Drops® Collection Gift Sets. Designed with different culinary needs in mind, each collection contains four individual Spice Drops® specifically recommended for that cooking style.
Spice Drops® are a unique range of 36 highly concentrated, natural extracts of herbs, spices, fruits and flowers which can transform a recipe with authentic taste and aroma using just a couple of drops. They contain no artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives, no alcohol or added salt or sugar; they’re gluten free and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. They’re fantastic in savoury dishes such as curries, stir fries or risottos, but also in baking, confectionery and drinks from smoothies, to teas, coffees and cocktails. Each 5ml bottle comes equipped with its own dropper to make accurate dispense easy – there’s no chopping, peeling, grinding or grating necessary just intense, delicious flavour guaranteed in an instant and no waste! The intensity of flavour and aroma also lasts for three years, unlike dried herbs or spices which lose theirs within weeks of opening. The extraction method used retains all the natural goodness of the fresh or raw ingredient too.
