Precautions for use

Allergens

Allergen-free

Preparation of a cold gel

Utensil: Hand whisk or electric mixer

1. Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the water (or hydrosol) while stirring to separate the gum particles.

2. Wait for the xanthan grains to rehydrate completely (about 5-10 minutes), stirring regularly, then mix well with a mini whisk or hand mixer to ensure a smooth consistency.

Note: It is possible to make a lump-free gel with very little stirring, even when cold.

Preparation of a hot gel

Utensil: Hand whisk or electric mixer

1. Heat the water (or hydrosol) to between 40 and 70°C, and add the xanthan gum "in a shower" while stirring simultaneously.

2. The gel forms in the same way as when cold, but rehydration will occur more quickly.

3. Mix thoroughly with a mini whisk or electric mixer.
