Frequently Asked Questions

How much LorAnn peppermint oil do I use per batch?

Use approximately 1/8 teaspoon (1 dram) per kilogram of hard candy mixture, or 2 to 3 drops per 250g of chocolate or buttercream. Peppermint is a particularly potent flavour, so start conservatively. The full 1 dram bottle is enough to flavour a large batch of hard candy or two to three batches of chocolate bark.

What is the difference between a LorAnn oil flavouring and a baking emulsion?

LorAnn oil-soluble drams are highly concentrated candy oils designed for high-heat applications like hard candy, chocolate, and ganache. Emulsions are water-based and better suited for cake batters, cookies, and moist bakes where a lighter flavour intensity is preferred. For chocolate and candy work, always use the oil-soluble dram.
