UW Health Fruit Cologne Lemon
What it is
This is a concentrated liquid flavoring designed to impart a bright, zesty lemon taste and aroma. It is often used in small quantities to enhance the flavor profile of both sweet and savory dishes. The essence captures the sharp, clean notes of fresh lemon peel, providing a distinct citrus punch without the acidity or pulp of the fruit itself. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way in transforming everyday meals and baked goods.
How people cook with it
This flavoring is a versatile tool for home cooks and professional chefs alike, adding a burst of citrus to a wide range of culinary creations.

When using this lemon flavoring, start with a small amount, such as a drop or two, and taste as you go. It can be stirred directly into batters, doughs, frostings, or glazes for baked items like cakes, cookies, and muffins. In savory applications, it can be added to salad dressings, marinades for poultry or fish, or to finish off sauces and soups. It is also an excellent addition to homemade lemonade, iced tea, or cocktails to provide a concentrated lemon essence.
How it differs from similar foods
