Hi Monika,
Is it one colour or all colours that are bitter?

Thanks for replying!
All of the colours are bitter

Usually, a bitter flavor means too much food color has been added. It is especially true if the coloring is synthetic. Use less coloring or use another brand of color.

I'll try using another brand!😊😊
