What did you Mix today?

Juts a question. Dont you find that dragon fruit dominates everything if you add it? I have gone to 0,5% and stil it takes over every recipe I tried with it
Only if you try to shake and vape it. I have found that it blends well after 14 to 21 days. Try a bit longer steep if you are not doing it allready.

I Mentioned it before somewhere, I got this theory that the South African palate is not really accustomed to Dragon Fruit. It's pretty much an exotic fruit that you don't really find in our grocery stores. Where in overseas it much more popular. Therefore most of us will find it a strange flavour especially in some of the mixes that the guys pump it up to 3-5%. But it does help to blend flavours together at lower than 0.4% without adding to the overall flavour.

Thanks my favourite mix(own recipe) is a mixed berry methol with kiwi and dragon. So even at 0.5% I still bet mostly the dragonfruit taste. Everytime I feel I wish I could taste more of teh other things, but I just cant stop vaping it, maybe the draginfruit is addictive. Will steep one for 21+ days and maybe make one without the dragonfruit.
 
Help !
I got a FSA milktart , do I add more flavours to the mix or is it a 1 flavour mix , maybe a sweetner or cinnamon ?
 
What is it missing from your single flavour test? Does it need more crust, more filling, more sweetness, more cinnamon, more mouth feel, more density, more tang, more creaminess?

I doubt there will be anybody who has used FSA Milk Tart extensively, if at all. This is the problem with non-mainstream flavours, you are generally not going to find recipes or even flavour notes for them.

ok would you suggest use at say 7% and work from there adding sweetner, crust,cinnamon etc ?
 
Well, I'd single flavour test it first. I haven't used FSA flavours so I don't know how potent they are. Maybe start at 3% and see how that is. If it's too weak, gradually increase % until it attains peak flavour. From there you will be able to assess how well the flavour does at providing the various elements of a milk tart, and whether it needs help with more crust, more filling, more sweetness, more cinnamon, etc.
 
Perhaps make 3 x 10ml samples using single flavor FSA Milk tart.

3%, 5% and 7% and let steep for a week and test each to get a good idea which will work better.

Once you have that figured out, you can start adding crusts, creams, sweetner to build on the base.

I agree with stumpy. What I dea for each layer I would do them in stages I.e milk tart as the main profile then add some crust let that steep as is test after a week to see if anything has mutated then add the cream etc

Anyone keen to list some of their latest BUT great bakery and fruity recipes? Im in desperate need of some new juices.

I know i can go through this thread again, but maybe some of you can list tried and tested yet not too complicated recipes.

PS. I am a ZEWB lover, been DIYing this for the past year with several different variations but im dying for something new.

Made Buttermilk Pie end of last year after i read all the raves and IMO it wasnt epic, it was good but not great! Maybe needed sweetner or something. lol

Hi Rudi,

So Prickly Victory has been in my rotation as well, and i also made my own version i name Cactus Jack
Mothers of Dragons Milk i also made end last year and was vaping on it yesterday, pretty good yeah!
Tropicana i have made and its also good, need to make again.

Will check the others and make, the 1-2-3 butter pecan pie seems to be up my alley, as well as the Churro recipe.

Thanks

I've done the milktart @ 7% added some sweetner and just for fun 5 drops VBIC , It smells like the real thing and a premature test
says I'm on the right track, going to steep for a week and see then.
