Lose any and all sweetener with fruit flavors. Marshmellow is okay if you want a more rounded out mouth feel. Sweeteners kill juices in two to three days and will make the flavor go flat.

Also as far as steeping what you are doing is fine dropping it in a hot cup of water however constant heat is what you need for better results. A crock pot for 4 hours at 150 will work. I did what you are doing now when I first started mixing for steeping. Its painstaking and not too effective. You need a steady heat. Not heat>>> cool >>> repeat. Itll work but it takes forever.

I used some sweetener for the first time yesterday, and it DID kill all my flavor, (lesson learned).
Listen to this guy, he has lots of experience...

My 2 cents:

Try Blueberry Wild, Orange Cream, & Cinnamon Danish Swirl, and Cap NY Cheesecake, as they are easier to work with IMO.
Coconut, Banana, Pineapple, and Pina Colada are not to bad either.
Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, and Chocolates, to name a few, can be very frustrating.
Save the hard ones for later on.
I'm using 50/50 mixes, no problems.
