[QUOTE="Letitia, post: 23717488, member: 305705"] I always steep a minimum of 10 days. Straight fruits steep faster than mixes with creams, custards, cheesecake, etc. I would suggest mixing 10ml of each flavor again and taste over the course of 4 weeks and jot down what you like and dislike about each. From my experience very few flavors are good by themselves but will shine when paired with another of the the same type. For example if I want a lemon mix I'd use 2 or 3 lemons and 1-2 drops of a sweetener. Also keep the mixes out of bright light and warmer temps; just throw them in a drawer or cabinet for at least a week before even tasting. On another note don't throw them away until each has a full steep. Many will suddenly have next to no flavor but in another few days the taste comes back. DIY is a learn as you go for awhile. Nothing wrong with syringes but mixing by weight with a scale greatly reduces time and cleanup. [/QUOTE]
