What sets this recipe apart is the use of our Flavour Drops instead of dried spices. While garlic powder and chili flakes have their place, our drops bring a new level of intensity and versatility.

So, Why Choose Flavour Drops?

Intense Flavour:
A concentrated burst that lasts longer than dried spices.
Smooth Integration:
Our drops blend seamlessly into dishes without altering texture.
Precision in Every Drop:
Easily control the flavour intensity for perfect balance.
Longer Shelf Life:
Dried spices lose their punch within six months to a year, while our drops stay potent for up to two years, making them both a flavourful and economical choice.
Consistent Every Time:
Delivers reliable flavour in every dish.

Our Flavour Drops make it easy to experiment with custom profiles while maintaining control over taste and texture. These Bite-Sized Waffle Canapés are a prime example of how our drops can transform a dish. Check out our full line-up of products and get creative with flavour!
