How to Use

For Baking: Use as a leavening agent in recipes that call for alum, such as certain traditional cookies or baking powder substitutes. Typically, a small pinch (about 1/4 teaspoon) is sufficient. For Pickling: Add 1 teaspoon per gallon of brine to keep pickles crisp. Do not use in canned pickles that will be processed for long-term storage – follow tested recipes. For Water Purification: Dissolve a small amount (e.g., 1/4 teaspoon per gallon) in cloudy water, stir, and let sediment settle. Decant clear water. This is a traditional method for clarifying water. For Personal Care: Dissolve a pinch in water to use as an aftershave rinse or natural deodorant. Always test on a small skin area first. General: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep away from children.
