Favorite "creams"?

[mhertz]

Which inawera strawberry? I personally don't like the shisha or the tino 'd milano, but like the regular inawera strawberry i.e. inawera truskawka concentrate which to me just needs 2%. The inawera strawberry kiss duet flavor is imho also a bad strawberry with mint added(contrary to the description which states cream!.

inawera truskawka is all i use.

Hmm, I really couldn't say -- never tried those. Worth a try I suppose; the Inawera Shisha Strawberry is FANTASTIC! It might not be exactly the same, but might still be really good!

This is my recipe:

(original)

Inawera Shisha Strawberry 16%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 6%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.5%
CAP Sweet Cream 2%
TFA Sweetener 2%
TFA Sour 0.3%

That comes to 30.8% flavoring. I'm working on reducing it, but going slowly, so I don't mess up the flavor; I've gotten it down to 29.25% thus far, and it's still excellent:

Inawera Shisha Strawberry 15.5%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 5.5%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.2%
CAP Sweet Cream 1.8%
TFA Sweetener 2%
TFA Sour 0.25%

For both, the TFA Sour is not really required; it helps it to not get too-sweet as it sits on the counter, when I make a large (60ml or more) qty. And the sweetener is definitely "to-taste" -- I like it sweet, so it might not be a bad idea to start with 1% sweetener, and see if you really want it to be sweeter -- all the ingredients are fairly sweet in their own right. No steeping or anything fancy required, though it's better the next day, and the longer it sits, the stronger and sweeter it gets.


Andria

Andria, finally got around to making this. I've been trying various Strawberry/Cream recipes since I started DIY. I subbed a couple things to accommodate my flavor stock... 8% TFA Strawberry + 8% TFA Strawberry Ripe just because I wasn't sure which way I wanted to go with that. TFA Bavarian Cream (don't have DX version). TFA Sweet Cream. No Sour. I just mixed it up, it tastes very good, looking forward to it aging a day or so. Some day I'll try to direct an order at a vendor that carries the Sisha. A guy can never have enough Strawberry flavors. And I've gone through 3/4 of a 4oz bottle of Bavarian Cream already. That seems to go in almost every recipe I do.

This could be a very nice ADV...

ETA: This is worth a 50ml batch tonight. I'm not going to wait for a breathe and steep. We have a winner!! I made the 30% version because I do a lot of Bill's recipes at 30% and it always works for me.

FA is the standard abbreviation for Flavor Art. TFA is the usual abbreviation for... TFA You might want to use that to avoid confusion.

 

[Dryadsoul]

Yeah it's just that the bottles all say FA/Falvor Apprentice on them now, but i'll go with TFA to avoid confusion, TY VNeil

There ya go post all amended now.

I for one think there are way too many friggin acronyms in this hobby

 

[VNeil]

And on the subject of way too many Fing acronyms, you will sometimes see "TPA" instead of TFA since that company has two different brands (The Perfumer's Apprentice and The Flavor Apprentice). Hehe.

 

[Dryadsoul]

I agree, here's an acronym to describe the over abundance of acronyms SNAFU!

Speaking of Creams - I have a Catalan Cream (Flavour Art, I think - not in front of it so I don't remember for sure) - I have been trying to figure out it's "claim to fame" as I never see anyone use it in any recipes.... Any of you good folk tried this and can help me with its essence? I think there's a spicy (not heat) undertone, but I can't put my "tongue" on it

 

[Dryadsoul]

Catalan Cream is español for crème brulée so it's likely cinnamon sticks w/lemon and orange zest exactly as it is in cooking.
