Red Licorice | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice is a US-based manufacturer of water-soluble food flavorings used in DIY mixing and culinary applications. Red Licorice provides a soft, sweet candy-style licorice profile inspired by red licorice sweets rather than traditional anise-based licorice. This highly concentrated flavor must be diluted before use. It is commonly used in candy-style fruit mixes and novelty recipes, and can also be applied carefully in desserts. All TFA concentrates are PG-based and water-soluble. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
