This isn't a problem type of question, just a curiosity one. I'm just getting into this, and one of my three flavors so far is single flavor English Toffee, using Nature's Flavors. So far very good, though I'm going to try adding a bit of vanilla to the next batch.
What's got me curious, though, is that it is clear when mixed and gradually turns a kind of pinkish brown over the first week. There is also an improvement in the flavor at about the same rate, mostly more complexity. Steeping, I know, as far as the flavor. But what causes the color change? My Earl Grey Tea also starts out clear and the flavor changes some, but the color doesn't change. So why would one flavor change color but not the other one?
Inquiring minds want to know.
