Big thumbs down on this one. Fresh lemons had been hard to find, so I used this instead of zest and juice and my lemon loaf was in a sad state. No punch to it. Not much aroma. Wouldn’t recommend.
I really do love to bake and cook in the kitchen and create a vast selection of scrumptious sweet treats for friends and family. Lemon essence has a good flavour and is good to use in recipes.
I used this in my lemon cakes but the flavour was overpowering and not nice. I used only a small amount but was probably a bit too much. Chucked the cake away.
Yes! Absolutely love this product.
It works much better than lemon i think. With using lemons you may have to use a lot to get a dominant flavour and then add sugar so as to sweeten it but with this you don’t need to use too much and it has just the perfect flavour.
I don’t find this product gives a true “lemon” flavour, I much prefer to m as me my own and get the genuine hit. It’s not a terrible product and I do use it in a pinch… just use sparingly
I have a special biscuit recipe I use this in. I only need a few drops and it adds a special something to the biscuits, but too heavy handed and the lemon taste is overpowering. I once left the lemon essence out and the biscuits were so boring. It really is a magic ingredient but needs to be used sparingly.
