McCormickUbe Flavor Extract 20ml (Purple Yum)

I purchased this to make purple ice cream for the kids during the holiday. My ice cream was a hit! 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 can of condensed milk - mix until it peaks and then add 1 tablespoon of this extract for coloring (add more if needed). I didn't taste much of the ube flavor so I had to add regular vanilla extract for more flavoring. Overall. the extract was nice, it was wrapped very well and sealed securely. This was my first time using ube extract for a recipe so I don't have much to compare it to. I also used the extract to make a purple cream cheese for my brownies. Overall, I am satisfied with the outcome and will purchase again.

Perfect for my ube cookies

Like other reviews my bottle did leak a bit, but the product wasn't bad and I was able to use it as needed.

... not returnable...but was refundable...it leaked . ...i changed my review rating because I was refunded...

Having a deep appreciation for the unique taste of ube, I was excited to incorporate this ube flavoring into my desserts. Regrettably, my enthusiasm was met with a series of disappointments.Inadequate Shipping and Handling: The initial issue was the shipping. The delivery took far longer than advertised, frustratingly arriving several weeks late. When the package did show up, it was in a pitiful state - severely dented and partly open, which was disheartening to see.Subpar Quality and Presentation: Unboxing further escalated my concerns. The bottle of ube flavoring was a far cry from its advertised image. It looked cheap and was not sealed properly, raising immediate doubts about its quality and the care taken in its production. It's challenging to trust a flavoring product when even the basic packaging standards aren't met.Flavor Far From Authentic: However, the most crucial disappointment was the flavor itself. Genuine ube has a distinctive, sweet, and earthy depth, but this product's taste was far from it. It had an overwhelmingly artificial, almost chemical-like sweetness, missing the natural, creamy essence of real ube. My attempts to use it in various recipes only led to an unpalatable, synthetic aftertaste, rather than enhancing the dishes with the desired ube flavor.Final Verdict: All in all, from the problematic and delayed shipping to the poor presentation and deeply unsatisfying artificial taste, this ube flavoring was a complete letdown. It failed to deliver the authentic and delightful ube experience I had hoped for. I regret this purchase and caution others against this product. It's a stark reminder that not all flavorings are created equal.

Perfect for my ube butter mochi

Came in leaking due to caps not being screwed tight. Haven't used it yet, though.

Great purchase
