Holy Lama Spice Drops Rose Extract – Great Taste Awards. Natural Cooking Ingredient, Sweet and Confectionery Recipes, Cocktails 1 x 5ml Bottle

Do not buy anyother brand ive tried rose water and like other substances that imo have shady or unspecified ingredients. This bottle has 17% rose extract and rose extract has very very high potency. This makes the flavouring so potent that i just ned to dab the tip without squeezing and it flavours a cup of milk more than i had desired. Just one or two drops is enough for flavouring anything. way more worth than, say, vanilla extracts or other flavouring methods which require teaspoon fulls of the extract and bottles finishing within three or four bakes. This will last longer and has actual rose extract and some geranuim and a few other scents to make it smell and taste even better. trust me just buy this and use very sparingly u wont regret.

Wow, I am really impressed with these rose drops! They’re so much more concentrated than regular supermarket extract and much more potent than rose water. You actually get a very strong flavour with just one drop, so even though the bottle is only 5ml, this is about 120 drops - and a little goes a long way…For baking, I tested this using 4 drops whisked into a wet ingredient in a small half-batch of 12 biscuits and the flavour was beautiful, authentic and prominent.For cold drinks, I found 1 drop in a 250ml milkshake was just right.I personally love the flavour of rose so I’ve been trying it in everything including raw-processed snacks, smoothies, yogurt, porridge and salad dressing. Can’t wait to see what else I can do with it, I’m thinking rice pudding, cake and homemade chocolate next.Really curious about the other extracts in the range too now as the spices are extensive and they even do spice drops for cooking (garlic, paprika, saffron, basil etc) which could be handy. What a great find, definitely worth the price!

One small drop goes a very long way. The taste is good, but beware using too much or your dishes may taste a little soapy. I use one drop in around 300ml of water and then use that (to soak apricots for breakfast!!!) Delicious.

Love this! Really authentic taste. Used it to flavour a cheesecake, it mixed in well with the double cream and cream cheese. Worth a couple of extra pounds as much better than the cheaper synthetic tasting offerings in the supermarket

Strong scent and flavour

A taste over powering to be honest. I've tried reducing the drops and the scent and taste lingers rather than delights the taste buds.I'm using now for scent in the room rather than drinks and food

I'm quite a fan of this brand of spice drops. This one, however, is *really* strong. I usually add them to tea, but I have to dilute one drop before I add it to a pot of tea!Good stuff – but use sparingly.

So. I didn’t read any reviews before buying, but it feels like 1 drop is really all you need.And if you’re making a big batch of something, I would add 1 drop at a time and taste test before adding more because this is REALLY concentrated!There’s sparse instructions on the side which suggested 10 drops for rose peaches in 100ml water which seems horribly excessive, but maybe the intensity goes down after heating up?I bought this for making basil seed drinks— I put 4 drops in 500ml of cold water and no matter what I did… the taste was a bit off (kind of bitter, maybe a tiny bit sour) and I couldn’t figure out why. Eventually I suspected the rose drops so I put a drop to my finger and just touched it to my tongue— BAD IDEA. Do NOT do that. It’s so incredibly strong, it does not taste good, and it fully made my tongue burn and tingle for almost 5 minutes!I managed to fix the drink eventually but only after putting in a lot more sugar than I usually would. If used correctly (sparingly!) I think this is quite useful— very strong and fragrant.
