The Floral Flavor Oils Sample Kit from Azlok is a set of three concentrated, food-grade flavouring oils—rose, jasmine and chamomile, 10 ml each—made to add a delicate floral note to cakes, cookies, frostings and other baked goods. Because they are concentrated, you use just a few drops at a time, which makes this kit an easy, low-cost way to experiment with new flavours at home. It is priced at ₹299 for the set of three 10 ml bottles.
What's in the kit
Each kit contains three separate flavour oils so you can taste and compare them before committing to a big batch:
- Rose flavour oil (10 ml) — soft, sweet and classic; pairs beautifully with milk-based Indian sweets, cardamom and pistachio.
- Jasmine flavour oil (10 ml) — heady and perfumed; a little goes a long way in light sponges and glazes.
- Chamomile flavour oil (10 ml) — gentle, honeyed and slightly herbal; lovely in shortbread, tea cakes and lemon bakes.
How to use floral flavor oils
These oils are concentrated, so treat them like an essence rather than a liquid you pour freely. A good starting point is 1 to 3 drops per 250–300 g of batter or frosting. Mix well, taste, and add another drop only if needed. Over-flavouring is the most common mistake—too much floral oil can turn a dessert soapy or perfumey.
Practical ways to use them:
- Stir a couple of drops of rose oil into buttercream, whipped cream or a sugar syrup for gulab-inspired cakes.
- Add jasmine to a plain sponge batter, panna cotta base or a simple glaze.
- Blend chamomile into cookie dough, cheesecake batter or a lemon drizzle.
- Flavour milk-based sweets, kheer, kulfi and rabri with a single drop.
- Scent a light syrup for soaking sponge layers.
Because the oils are strong, add them to the fat or liquid portion of your recipe (butter, cream, milk or syrup) so they disperse evenly instead of concentrating in one spot.
Tips for balanced flavour
- Start small. You can always add more, but you cannot take it out.
- Pair, don't clash. Rose loves cardamom and pistachio; chamomile loves lemon and honey; jasmine works well with vanilla and white chocolate.
- Taste at room temperature. Cold and frozen desserts mute flavour, so season slightly stronger for kulfi or ice cream.
- Use one floral note at a time until you know how each behaves; mixing two strong florals often muddies the result.
Safety and honest notes
These are flavouring oils meant for culinary use in small quantities. Keep the following in mind:
- Use only the recommended few drops—these are not meant to be consumed neat or in large amounts.
- Keep the bottles tightly closed and out of reach of children.
- Do not confuse food flavour oils with essential oils sold for aromatherapy or soap-making; use the right product for the right purpose.
- If you have known allergies, introduce a new flavour in a small test batch first.
Buying and storage
Store the bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, with the caps firmly closed to prevent the aroma from fading. Kept this way, concentrated flavour oils last a long time because you use so little each time. The sample-kit format is genuinely useful here: three 10 ml bottles let you try rose, jasmine and chamomile without buying full-size bottles of each. You can find the Floral Flavor Oils Sample Kit on Azlok along with other baking and flavouring supplies.
FAQ
How many drops should I use in a cake?
Begin with 1 to 3 drops per 250–300 g of batter or frosting, mix, taste, and add more only if needed. These oils are concentrated, so restraint gives the best result.
Can I use these oils in savoury cooking?
Yes, in tiny amounts. A single drop of rose or jasmine can lift a syrup, a dessert-style rice dish or a delicate sauce, but savoury use needs an especially light hand.
Are floral flavor oils the same as essential oils?
No. These are food flavouring oils intended for culinary use in small quantities. Aromatherapy essential oils are a different product and should not be substituted here.
How long do the oils last?
Stored in a cool, dry place with caps tightly closed, concentrated flavour oils keep well for a long time. Because each recipe uses only a few drops, a 10 ml bottle goes a long way.
Which flavour is best for beginners?
Rose is the most forgiving and familiar in Indian sweets, so it is a comfortable starting point before you move on to jasmine and chamomile.
